WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — Egg prices are beginning to decline, offering some relief for consumers as production recovers from earlier disruptions caused by Highly-Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
A new report from the American Farm Bureau Federation says supply is improving after significant losses earlier in the year after another outbreak of bird flu linked with seasonal wild bird migration periods. More than 15 million birds were affected by bird flu, though cases have slowed compared to last year, especially in March.
Federal officials are now urging producers to remain vigilant as spring wildfowl migration begins, a time when the risk of disease spread can increase.
Experts say the current outbreak appears more contained and manageable compared to previous waves.
Higher livestock prices reflect resilient demand, even as disease and herd shifts reshape 2026 supply expectations.
