Korea, Japan & China Culling Millions of Birds Due To H5N6 & H7N9 Virus Moon Hong-nam, a pastry chef in Seoul, needs at least 15,000 eggs a day to bake cakes, but after South Korea’s worst outbreak of bird flu and a surge in the prices of eggs, he is considering some changes. “We can ride it out through Christmas with what (supplies) we have secured,” says Moon, who works at the L’escargot bakery in Seoul. “But if (the bird flu) continues until January, we will have to raise prices inevitably and make bakery items that do not need eggs.” About 20 million birds, nearly a quarter of South Korea’s poultry stock, have been culled to control the outbreak. Most of the birds culled are egg-laying hens. The flu has spread to other parts of Asia as well, including Japan. In South Korea, the average retail price for 30 eggs has risen nearly 25 percent to 6,781 South Korean won (¥668) since the outbreak began on Nov. 18 — the highest in more than three years, according to state-run Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp. According to data from the institution, it is the highest month-on-month increase in egg prices in nearly a decade. The price hike is putting a dent in the wallets of Koreans, who usually eat more eggs in the winter, including in bread and kimbap, a Korean sushi roll. Feeling the supply pinch, Lee Sang-hyup, the 55-year-old owner of Jeonju Restaurant, says he has cut down on the amount of fluffy steamed eggs served free with the main dish, spicy braised hairtail fish. “If I can’t have enough eggs, then I have no choice but to stop serving it,” says Lee, adding that it was the first time since he started the restaurant three years ago that he has needed to ration portions of the side dish.Two people in China's Anhui province have died from H7N9 bird flu, the first fatalities in China among this winter's cases, while Macau reported its first human H7N9 infection since the former Portuguese colony returned to China in 1999. Anhui has reported five cases of H7N9 avian flu since Dec. 8, including the two people who died, the eastern province's health authority said in a statement dated Dec. 21, posted on its website. It did not say whether the other three people had recovered or not. Two wild birds have tested positive for bird flu - the first cases in the wild in England, the UK's Chief Veterinary Officer has confirmed. The H5N8 strain of avian flu was found in Leicestershire and Somerset in two dead wigeons - a type of duck.

Chief vet Nigel Gibbens said the public risk was "very low" but experts would "strengthen surveillance" of the virus. "Today's confirmed findings mean that avian flu has now been found in wild birds in widely separated parts of England, Wales and Scotland," he added. South Korea and Japan have ordered fresh culls of poultry stocks to contain outbreaks of avian flu, authorities in the two countries said. The South Korean Agriculture Ministry said on Monday it had ordered the cull of an additional 2.4 million birds, taking the total number to a record 18.4 million since the first outbreak of avian flu was reported at a farm on Nov. 18. It has called the outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N6 strain of bird flu more severe than the H5N8 strain that spread across the country in 2014 and 2015 before being brought under control. After South Korea, Japan, China discovers two more cases of human bird flu China has discovered two more cases of human bird flu infection. South Korea and Japan are working to contain outbreaks of different strains of the virus.
