The U.S. Agriculture Department predicts record egg prices could soar more than 40% in 2025 .

The main reason egg prices have climbed is that more than 166 million birds have been slaughtered to limit the virus’ spread.

Trump administration officials have suggested that vaccines might help reduce the number of birds that have to be slaughtered when there is an outbreak. However, no vaccines have been fully approved for widespread use in poultry, and the industry has said the current prototypes aren’t practical because they require individual shots for each bird. Plus, vaccinated birds could jeopardize exports..
