The avian flu outbreak has devastated egg production, killing over 20 million egg-laying birds and driving prices sky-high. The virus, spread by migratory birds, has disrupted all major production systems, affecting even the most secure farms. As a result, egg shortages have worsened, particularly impacting lower-income families who rely on affordable eggs for daily meals. Farmers are facing severe emotional and financial hardship, and government assistance is limited. Experts warn that it could take months for prices to stabilize. Meanwhile, scientists are using AI and improved surveillance to monitor the virus, with hopes of developing vaccines to prevent future outbreaks. Strengthening global biosecurity is crucial to reducing risks.
