"Impact on prices still unclear, but next two weeks will be critical"
"Turkeys this Christmas could be smaller after a second case of avian flu was confirmed yesterday in an Irish flock."
"It is still unclear what impact the outbreaks at farms in Co Meath and Co Carlow might have on turkey prices, but further cases could lead to a reduction in supply."
A second case of avian flu has been confirmed in an Irish turkey flock following an earlier detection. The affected farms are in Co Meath and Co Carlow. Confirmed infections could reduce available turkey supply if additional flocks are infected or culled. The immediate impact on retail turkey prices remains unclear. Market participants expect the next two weeks to be critical for detecting further cases and assessing supply impacts. Enhanced biosecurity measures and targeted culling could limit spread but also shrink short-term supply. Retailers may seek alternative poultry sources, and consumer holiday choices could be affected if supplies tighten.
