HPAI: Market Impacts DR. TOM ELAM FARMECON LLC MAY 6, 2015

Feed loss assumptions: Turkeys loss is all potential feed consumption for average weight birds. Layer loss is 6 months of total flock feed consumption.

Turkey outbreak shows little sign of abating

Conclusions Now the largest poultry flu outbreak in U.S. history, and getting worse Significant financial impact for affected turkey and layer flock growers/owners HPAI losses to date represent tiny percent of U.S. feed use Even if the losses double or triple, still no significant feed market effect Export losses will help reduce production impacts on overall turkey and egg prices Unless broiler flocks get involved, only downside price pressure for chicken Dark meat turkey and chicken parts prices remain depressed Potential positive for whole bird turkeys and breast meat Significant impact on egg and egg products supply ◦4-6% loss for period while large Iowa flocks out of production ◦Will take up to 6 months or more to get back to full production – limited pullet supply ◦Table eggs likely to be diverted to breaking
