December World Avian Influenza Report – Reaching the Peak

According to the latest report from WOAH (World Organization for Animal Health), from December 8, 2023 to January 5, 2024 (4 weeks), a total of 211 new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza were reported globally, which is 10% higher than the previous report ( November 17 to December 7, 2023, 3 weeks) increased by 54%.

During the reporting period, a total of 95 new poultry outbreaks were reported in 14 countries (Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, South Korea, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, South Africa, United States).

116 new outbreaks of non-poultry and mammalian diseases were reported in 23 countries and regions (Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Moldova, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States).

The number of poultry losses reported this time has increased by 73% since the last report, and the number of new poultry outbreaks has increased by 4%. According to data from past reports, the current period of avian influenza epidemic growth reaches its peak within a year.

Since the beginning of winter, bird flu outbreaks have occurred in Europe and the United States and even in East and Central Asia. The speed of the spread of the epidemic is even more worrying.

At present, egg prices in California, USA, have begun to rise again due to the resurgence of bird flu. The Federal Department of Agriculture (USDA) pointed out that in Northern California and the Central Valley alone, 7 million laying hens have been infected in the past two months. If the situation does not improve, egg prices may skyrocket again.

According to the website of the National Administration of Disease Control and Prevention, a case of H3N2 and H10N5 mixed infection was discovered in Zhejiang Province on January 30. However, experts assessed that the virus was of poultry origin and did not have the ability to effectively infect humans. The epidemic was an occasional cross-species transmission from poultry to humans, and no human-to-human transmission occurred.

News situation

This week’s news is more positive than negative.

During the fourth week (January 22-January 28), the industry estimates that the average number of ducklings emerging is about 10 million birds per day, which is on the rise compared to the previous week. In mid-December, the duck industry in the north was in a stagnation or parking period, and during the corresponding period in late January, the number of meat ducks sold decreased accordingly, resulting in duck down being in short supply.

With the start of the "New Year's Goods Festival" and the onset of the cold wave across the country, there has been a boom in down jacket sales both online and offline. Among them, cost-effectiveness has become the main theme. Merchants achieved good sales through the New Year Festival, and consumers took advantage of this opportunity to buy high-quality and low-priced products.

The market improvement since the fourth quarter has given textile companies a subtle change in mentality. They are more active in stocking up before the holidays and resuming production after the holidays. From an export perspective, the replenishment of inventories by the United States and Europe, interest rate cuts in the United States, and the shift of my country's export competitiveness to the mid-to-upstream will provide structural opportunities for my country's foreign trade in 2024.
