South Korean authorities confirmed H5N1 avian influenza at a breeder duck farm in Jincheon, North Chungcheong. About 2,200 breeder ducks were culled.
Movement restrictions were placed on 27 farms holding 1.04 million birds in the surrounding quarantine zone.
Culling and movement restrictions reduce local duck and poultry supply and can tighten regional poultry-feed demand only marginally, since the affected flock is small. Spread to larger layer or broiler operations would have a bigger impact on poultry feed demand and prices.
