Vaccinating poultry could help cut soaring egg prices but US remains hesitant

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced plans to study bird flu vaccines to fight the disease.

The move has been delayed in part because of concerns it could jeopardize chicken exports worth billions of dollars a year.

Without a new policy including vaccines, the government will continue to slaughter every flock with a bird flu infection.

Prices may ease somewhat later this year after peak demand, which happens around Easter , if massive egg farms in Iowa , Ohio , California and elsewhere can avoid more outbreaks. The USDA has predicted that average egg prices will be 41% higher than the 2024 average of $ 3.17 per dozen. That would mean $ 4.47 per dozen, slightly below the current average. 2025 The Associated Press . All rights reserved.
