مستخلص: Georgia, the top US chicken-producing state, has confirmed its second recent case of bird flu in a commercial poultry flock, which could jeopardize exports of poultry meat. The highly pathogenic avian influenza was found in Elbert County, marking Georgia's sixth case since the US outbreak began three years ago. While domestic sales may not be affected, the state's lucrative chicken exports could face disruptions if importing nations halt shipments to prevent the spread of the virus. The outbreak has led to the deaths of millions of birds, increased food prices, and even claimed the life of a person in Louisiana. Georgia's poultry exports, valued at $1.6 billion in 2023, have been impacted by bans from key importers like China. [Extracted from the article]
