Podcasts about avian flu

Poultry Farmers are warned this winter is on course to be among the worst for Avian Flu. This week all poultry in England and Northern Ireland was ordered inside after a number of new cases. The Pirbright Institute's head of Avian Virology explains why the H5N1 strain of bird flu has become more able to spread, describing it as 'almost a super strain'.A household name in food processing says it's worried about future supplies of raw materials, because farmers confidence is so poor. McCain is the single biggest buyer of British potatoes. It commissioned an online survey of 200 farmers from across the industry, called Farmdex. It found that 51 per cent of respondents had considered leaving farming in the past year, while 40 percent believe they may be forced to leave the industry in the next decade due to economic pressures. McCain is calling on the Government and other food industry players to take steps to improve stability for farmers.And, we visit a small company producing seeds for joyously different varieties of veg from Wrinkled Crinkled Crumpled Cress to the Musselburgh Leek.

As the holidays close in, markets are showing their seasonal split — beef buyers are getting bold while poultry prices cool and dairy keeps sliding. With soy stirring and pork settling, everyone's stocking up for the end-of-year rush… but which way will prices break when the wrapping paper comes off?BEEF: Holiday buying is kicking in and prices are heading higher across the board, with ribeyes, tenderloins, and even strips taking off. Demand is rising, supply isn't budging, and this market looks set to climb straight into December — the only question is how fast.POULTRY: Chicken remains steady with strong production and flat pricing — barely a penny either way. But with fresh avian flu cases popping up again, will this calm market hold through the holidays?GRAINS: Soy finally woke up on export news, with wheat following higher, while corn slipped a touch. If global buying picks up, could this be the start of that grain momentum we've been waiting for?PORK: Bellies pulled back to $140 after last week's spike, making now a great time for bacon buyers. Pork remains one of the best values in protein — but will seasonal demand tighten things up heading into winter?DAIRY: Last week's bump vanished fast — cheese and butter dropped again, turning dairy into a surprising value play. The question now is whether holiday demand can stop this slide or if prices keep melting.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The recent Supreme Court decision upholding the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's order to cull a B.C. ostrich flock infected with avian flu has stirred debate across the country. But experts say retesting or quarantining these birds would be risky — and potentially dangerous.

A highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza has been detected in a small domestic poultry flock in the Municipal District (MD) of Bonnyville, in northeastern Alberta.  The MD confirmed the detection this week, describing it as a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strain capable of causing severe illness and high mortality among birds. The risk of HPAI rises during the fall migration season. 

Markets are starting to settle after weeks of decline. Beef finds its bottom, chicken holds steady, pork pops, and dairy and grains edge higher. The big question — is this the foundation for a rebound, or just a pause before the next dip?BEEF: After weeks of decline, the market has found its floor. Ribeyes, tenderloins, and strips are on the rise again — the question is how fast this rebound will move.POULTRY: Chicken prices have steadied after big drops, with only minor movement expected. But as avian flu cases climb again, how long can this calm last?GRAINS: Talk of a new trade deal with China pushed corn, soy, and wheat higher. If exports pick up, could this be the start of a grain rally?PORK: Bellies spiked $20 to $151, catching the market off guard. Is this a one-week blip or the start of a seasonal climb?DAIRY: Cheese is moving higher, butter finally holding steady. The big question — can demand keep this rally alive with supply still strong?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Almost a year after an avian flu outbreak was detected on an ostrich farm in rural British Columbia, the fate of the flock remains in the crosshairs of a culture war over public health policy.Plans to euthanize the remaining birds by Canadian authorities are on pause as the Supreme Court of Canada considers the case. The cull order catalyzed fierce protest by the farm owners and their hundreds of supporters, backed by top White House health officials, decrying what they see as government overreach.Host Caryn Ceolin is joined by Dr. Angela Rasmussen, virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, to discuss why the case became a flashpoint, and whether the government's ability to enforce public health policy is at risk.

Chicken prices have hit their lowest level in two years, making it the week's biggest story. Beef's slowdown continues, pork holds steady, and dairy drifts lower — but poultry steals the spotlight as the market's best deal.BEEF: Prices are still drifting lower, though the declines are slowing. Middle meats are already ticking back up, hinting that the bottom may be near — but just how long before demand heats things up again?POULTRY: Chicken prices keep sliding, with boneless skinless breasts hitting their lowest point in two years. As demand cools and avian flu flares, the question is: how much longer can this market remain this soft?GRAINS: Harvests are booming and inventories are stacked, leaving corn, soy, and wheat all stuck in neutral. With talk of a biofuel push on the horizon, could soy finally be what shakes this market awake?PORK: Pork is steady, bellies holding at $134 while production rises with cooler weather. Processors may soon start stockpiling for spring, but for now, is this the calm before the climb?DAIRY: Last week's brief rally fizzled, with cheese and butter slipping again. Butter remains a seasonal bargain, but the question is — can this quiet market stay this smooth through the holidays?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

PJ talks to Robbie Fitzsimons of East Cork Ferry Farm which has been put on lockdown to prevent the birds catching Avian flu Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the markets send mixed signals – beef prices slide but middle meats refuse to budge, chicken keeps dropping while avian flu stirs again, and pork bellies dip as loins hold value. Grains stay calm and dairy finally bounces after weeks of decline. Is this the start of real relief, or just the setup for another rally?BEEF: Prices are slipping across most cuts, with chucks, sirloin flap, rounds, and grinds leading the way lower. Even ribeyes and tenderloins paused their climb, though holiday demand will likely push them higher again soon. The big question – will packers tighten harvests to stop the fall, or do we get a few more weeks of relief?POULTRY: Chicken prices keep sliding, with boneless skinless breasts hitting 18-month lows and no clear bottom yet. Production still looks strong, though government reporting is on pause during the shutdown. The real watch – does this drop keep running, or are we about to hit the floor?GRAINS: Harvest is rolling along, and markets aren't budging much. Corn slipped to $4.06 from $4.15 last week, with soy and wheat stuck in the same tight range. With big crops expected, the question is – what's it going to take to shake these markets out of neutral?PORK: Bellies keep sliding, down to $151 from last week's $169 – and that means bacon pricing should ease too. Butts and ribs are inching higher, while loins continue to shine as the best value in pork. The question now – is this just a seasonal dip, or the start of a bigger shift in pork markets? DAIRY: After six straight weeks of declines, the CME finally turned higher. Barrel is up 6, block up 10, and even butter ended its slide with a 6-point gain. The big question – is this the start of a real rally, or just a short bounce before more pressure ahead?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The screw worm is closing in on Texas, threatening the nation's largest cattle herd and the beef market with it. Avian flu resurfaces, pork stays steady, and butter keeps sliding – but is beef facing its biggest challenge yet?BEEF: The new screw worm was found less than 70 miles from Texas, potentially impacting the beef industry. Prices are falling for many cuts, but ribeyes and tenderloins stay expensive. The real question – do we have a few more weeks of relief, or are we on the brink of something much bigger?POULTRY: Avian flu has returned, hitting 2.5 million egg layers in Wisconsin, with more turkey cases piling on. Chicken prices are falling, with wings, breasts, and tenders dropping in price. The question now is – will this market reset hold, or will avian flu spoil the party?GRAINS: Argentina tried a quick cash grab by suspending export duties on corn and soy, raking in billions in just two days before reinstating them. Here in the U.S., the markets barely blinked – corn ticked up to $4.15, with soy and wheat holding steady. Will global moves finally shake up these calm grain markets, or are we stuck in steady mode for a while longer?PORK: Bellies nudged up to $169, but don't be fooled – I still see more downside ahead for this market. Loins are steady, ribs are inching higher, and butts are showing some strength. The big question – are we about to see pork finally heat up, or will it stay the quiet value play against beef's chaos?DAIRY: The CME finally showed a flicker of life this week – barrel had its first uptick in a month, block slipped a bit lower, and butter keeps sliding. Is this the true bottom we've been waiting for, or will butter keep melting into the holiday baking season?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

After weeks of rising costs, the markets are finally taking a breather. Beef is still tight, chicken is easing, pork bellies are drifting lower, and dairy might be finding its bottom. It's not a full cooldown, but it feels like the first exhale in a long while.BEEF: Harvest ticked up to 561K head, but most cuts are easing lower – a welcome shift after months of pressure. Middle meats like ribeyes and tenderloins remain stubbornly high, and with the holidays ahead, record pricing could be in play. The real question: how long before consumer pushback forces this market to blink?POULTRY: Production is still running hot – over 7 billion chickens processed this year – but now supply is outpacing demand, pushing prices down across wings, breasts, and tenders. The seasonal dip isn't unusual, but the size of these price drops is worth watching. Meanwhile, avian flu is stirring again with seven new turkey cases, hinting the calm streak may be over.GRAINS: Harvest is just beginning, with corn already 7% in – but prices are holding steady. Corn slipped slightly to $4.11, while soy and wheat stayed flat, with biofuel quotas on the horizon that could shift demand for soy. For now, it's steady fields and steady markets – but will harvest season bring surprises?PORK: Pork remains the best bang for your protein buck as beef prices stay sky-high. Bellies slipped again to $168, with more downside likely in the weeks ahead. Loins are still the standout value, while butts and ribs are just inching up – making this the season to menu pork.DAIRY: Week five of declines has the CME looking softer, but this slide might be about done. Barrel dropped 4, block held steady, and butter tumbled another 15 – the steepest of the bunch. Are we finally at the bottom, or is there one more dip left?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Poultry leads the move lower as chicken prices ease, but across the board, the markets are full of mixed signals. Beef stays strong, dairy keeps sliding, and pork and grains add their own twists.BEEF: Demand is cooling a touch with grinds, briskets, and flanks easing back, but ribeyes and tenderloins are still charging higher. Supplies remain too tight for a true correction, so any relief looks more like a pause than a pullback. Heading into the holidays, the pain point for consumers hasn't hit yet – and we may not be close.POULTRY: Avian flu is back in the headlines – six new cases this week, hitting nearly 300K turkeys, stirred up by cooler weather and migration. On the chicken side, it's all good news: supply is finally ahead of demand, bringing prices down across the board. The question is, how long will the balance last?GRAINS: Markets are holding steady with corn at $4.17, soy flat, and wheat unchanged. All eyes are on the USDA report out Friday – if crop yield estimates are trimmed, we could finally see a push higher. Until then, it's calm in the grain bin.PORK: Bellies finally slipped, closing at $172 – down $10 from last week – and should keep easing over the next few weeks. But with cold storage stocks very low, don't expect a major falloff. Meanwhile, butts and ribs are ticking higher, loins are steady, and pork still delivers solid value on the plate.DAIRY: It's week four of declines at the CME – barrel down 8, block off 7, and butter slipping another 3. The slide keeps rolling, and while it's unclear how long it will last, for now we'll take the ride. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Summer's still sizzling in the beef market, but other proteins and dairy are slipping. From ribeye highs to butter slides, it's a week of high steaks and low falls across the board.BEEF: Signs point to the market finally cooling as we move through September – but it may be short-lived. Ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, rounds, and grinds are still climbing, though thin meats like skirts and briskets are starting to slip. With herds small and Mexico still closed, high prices aren't going anywhere soon… moderation may be coming, but not just yet.POULTRY: Production stays strong – up about 1% – but prices are sliding for the second week straight. Wings, breasts, and tenders are all moving lower, making chicken a solid feature right now. Still, with one new avian flu case reported and cooler weather coming, could we see trouble ahead?GRAINS: Corn nudged back over $4 for the first time in three weeks as export demand looks solid and crop estimates soften a bit from “best ever” to “some issues.” Soy keeps trying to rally but can't quite get there, while wheat remains the bargain buy of the bunch.PORK: Bellies are stuck in the $180–$185 range, closing at $182 – but the next move looks lower, so it's not the time to load up. Butts and ribs are bouncing back after recent declines, while loins continue to be the standout value cut.DAIRY: Week three of a sliding CME – barrel down 1, block down 3, and butter off another 11 after last week's steep drop. It's not a massive slide, but the steady decline is adding up – will the dip deepen, or start to level out?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Summer's wrapping up, but the markets are still making waves. Pork bellies take a dive, beef keeps the heat on, and chicken cools just in time for football season. From butter drops to grain gluts, it's a late-summer belly flop across the board.BEEF: Prices keep climbing as production stays tight – 547K head harvested this week and even fewer expected with the holiday ahead. Chucks, grinds, ribeyes, and tenderloins are leading the charge, while strips are still the relative value. The market may cool off soon, but not yet – buy now, waiting will cost you money.POULTRY: Chicken prices finally cooled off for Labor Day – wings, breasts, and tenders are all down. Production is still running strong, about 1% ahead of last year, so we'll take the win and enjoy cheaper chicken for now. One small avian flu case popped up, but nothing major.GRAINS: Another rally fizzled – corn harvest is pegged at a massive 16.7 billion bushels, keeping prices in check. Corn nudged up slightly to $3.94, while soy and wheat stayed flat. With crops this strong, the market's still waiting for a spark to push things higher.PORK: Bellies slipped again, closing at $181 with more downside likely ahead. Butts and loins are steady, ribs are edging up, and overall production is running about 2% lower year-to-date. With nothing pushing demand higher, this market looks set to stay quiet for the next few weeks.DAIRY: CME gave back August's gains – barrel down 2, block down 3, and butter dropping a sharp 14. After weeks of climbing, this market is sliding fast… will the downturn stick?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Sorry for the delay, we were on vacation on Friday. Market Updates for last week below!BEEF: Prices keep climbing across the board – ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, and rounds are all on fire. With packers still losing money, production dropping, and the Southern border closed to live animal imports, pressure is building. Relief may come after Labor Day – but will it be too little, too late?POULTRY: Chicken stays strong with production up and demand steady – wings are flat for now while breasts and tenders ease a bit. Football season could give wings a lift, but the real watch is Avian Flu: after six clean weeks, a new case breaks the streak. Will cooler weather bring more trouble?GRAINS: Harvest is underway and while yields look good, they're not record-shattering just yet. Corn is holding under $4 for a third straight week, soy is showing some strength on export demand, and wheat is slipping. The market looks steady – but will exports or tariffs be the wild card?PORK: Bellies look like they've peaked, slipping back to $182 from last week's $194 – and likely heading lower into fall. With butts and loins down and ribs steady, pork remains one of the best buys on the menu. But is this the break buyers have been waiting for, or just a seasonal pause?DAIRY: After a couple of big weeks higher, the market eased back – barrel down 1½, block steady, and butter slipping just ½. The push has cooled for now, but will those gains start to melt further in the weeks ahead?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The cider apple harvest has started already. Most apples are picked in the autumn and even varieties which ripen early aren't usually ready yet, and the apple harvest looks likely to buck this year's trend and be good.The Government's decision last week not to offer a rescue package to two plants producing bioethanol is a cause for worry for farmers. This week the Vivergo bioethanol plant on the Humber near Hull stopped production and started laying off staff. It had been buying around a million tonnes of wheat a year, distilling it into bioethanol which is added to petrol to reduce emissions. It also produced large quantities of cattle feed as a by-product. A separate business, Ensus on Teesside is continuing for now; it produces bioethanol and also carbon dioxide which is used in abattoirs and the food industry. The plants have been rendered economically unviable by the US trade deal, which removed tariffs from bioethanol imports from the States. We hear how the UK has been dependent on American bioethanol for some time now.Avian flu is on the rise again. In England new rules on game birds are being introduced after warnings of a 'heightened risk' of the virus. The Government says there have been more new cases, particularly in coastal areas and places with a significant number of shoots. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

BEEF: The summer beef rally isn't slowing down – low production and high demand are keeping prices on the move. Middle meats, chucks, rounds, and grinds are all climbing, setting us up for a pricey Labor Day BBQ. Will the market cool after the holiday, or will tight cattle supplies keep the heat on?POULTRY: Production is running 1% ahead of last year, with demand staying strong as chicken remains the go-to alternative to high beef prices. Wings are steady for now, but will football season send them higher? Six weeks with no new Avian Flu cases – let's keep it going.GRAINS: Corn prices remain under $4 with a record U.S. harvest on the horizon – great for feeders, rough for farmers. But with soy inching up on palm oil tariffs and wheat holding steady, could this calm market be setting the stage for a surprise turn?PORK: Bellies cracked the $200 mark before slipping back – still riding high for now. But with just a few more weeks of seasonal strength left, will the fall bring the big break buyers have been waiting for?DAIRY: Cheese keeps climbing – barrel up 6, block up 4 – but butter's the rebel, dropping 11 points. With baking season buying about to kick off, is the clock ticking on those lower butter prices?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: Prices are surging in the dead of summer – and it's not slowing down. With record-high cattle costs and packers losing $300 a head, the market's acting more like spring than August… so what's driving this upside?POULTRY: Chicken stays steady – strong production, strong demand, and no big price moves on the horizon. With five weeks flu-free and beef heating up, is poultry about to hold its ground or ride the market wave?GRAINS: Grains keep sliding – with corn dipping under $4 a bushel for the first time in a long while. Soy and wheat are following suit, but could strong soy meal exports shake things up?PORK: Pork bellies bounce back to $189 – and the strength may hold through month's end. But with loins, butts, and ribs slipping, how long will the split market last?DAIRY: The CME heats up – barrel jumps 11, block climbs 12, and butter bucks the trend, sliding 4.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: The market's still sliding, but not as fast as you'd think with production this tight. Ribeyes and tenderloins? We may have already hit the year's low – so is an expensive holiday season inevitable? Thin meats are dropping, grinds dipped too, but this market's playing a long game.POULTRY: Chicken production is holding strong – wings are steady, breasts are ticking up, and tenders dipped a bit. Demand isn't going anywhere, but will prices stay calm? Plus, we're a month Avian flu-free – can we keep the streak alive?GRAINS: Strong crops, weak exports, and tariff concerns are pushing corn, soy, and wheat lower. Prices are slipping – but is this a true bargain, or just the calm before another shakeup?PORK: The pork market's moving lower – and even bellies are along for the ride. Is this a one-week blip or the start of an early slide? We'll need another week to see where this goes.DAIRY: After weeks of slipping, butter's starting to climb again – but is it just a pause or a new trend? This week's calm might be the quiet before the next churn.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: The summer slide continues. Ribeyes and strips are dragging the market down, and briskets and grinds are finally dipping – but don't let your guard down just yet. With production still sluggish, we've likely got a few more weeks of softness before fall starts cooking up something new.POULTRY: Demand is driving this market – wings, breasts, and tenders are all on the rise. With summer heat slowing growth and no sign of appetite cooling off, prices could keep climbing. Three Avian Flu-free weeks in a row? Let's hope the streak sticks.GRAINS: Crops look great and prices are steady – for now. With new tariffs on deck and shifting global demand, especially for soy, the calm could break. Keep your eyes peeled… August might shake things up.PORK: Bellies keep climbing – $200 is in sight – while everything else takes a breather. Butts and loins are easing down, making loins a standout value. If you're planning menus, now's the time to think pork.DAIRY: Things are calm in cheese country – just a slight move in block and barrel this week. Butter's taking the stairs down again, and it's not done dropping yet. Could be more room to melt.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: Beef is finally cooling off—but is it enough? Strip loins and ribeyes are leading the decline, but ground beef and roasts are holding firm. With production still lagging behind last year, could this be the start of a slow slide or just a summer stall?POULTRY: Chicken remains the go-to protein, but how long can it hold? Wings are flying high on demand, breasts and tenders are steady, and production is slightly up. No new Avian Flu reports this week, which is always good news.GRAINS: Soybeans are about to stir things up. Despite strong supply and a promising crop, new demand for biofuel could send prices climbing fast. Will corn and wheat follow suit? Stay tuned.PORK: Bellies keep marching higher, and there's no sign of slowing. While other cuts ease off recent highs, bacon's sizzling summer run looks far from over – will August bring the peak, or just more heat?DAIRY: Dairy takes a dip across the board this week – but is it the bottom, or just the beginning? With block, barrel, and butter all sliding, the market may have more room to melt.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Send us a textWhat happens when 400 vegan activists storm your chicken houses? How do you rally an entire county to defeat a ballot measure designed to eliminate family farming? And what drives someone to keep producing food when faced with one existential threat after another?Mike Weber, fourth-generation California egg farmer, doesn't just survive challenges—he transforms them into opportunities for community building and innovation. From the moment his family decided to "bet the farm" and modernize their century-old operation, they've faced a gauntlet of trials that would have broken most businesses: activist invasions, politically-motivated ballot initiatives, and devastating avian influenza outbreaks."We've been tested by fire and flame and everything there possibly is in the last few years—and it's kind of made us stronger for it," Weber explains. His story reveals the remarkable resilience at the heart of American agriculture and the complex reality of farming just 35 miles from San Francisco. When vegan activists orchestrated what Weber calls a "vegan insurrection" on their property, the farm responded not with anger but with transparency. When a ballot initiative threatened all animal agriculture in their county, the Webers helped unite an entire community around their agricultural heritage, eventually winning by an astonishing 85% to 15% margin.Most powerfully, Weber's account challenges simplistic narratives about modern farming. His operation pioneers environmental sustainability with 2,500 solar panels, innovative manure processing systems, and organic fertilizer production.
