💨 Abstract

The Netherlands, a major global egg exporter, has initiated a pilot program to vaccinate laying hens against bird flu. The aim is to control bird flu outbreaks, prevent culling, and stabilize egg prices. The pilot, which will run until early 2027, will test market response and gain experience with the implementation of surveillance programs. The program will be gradual due to potential trade consequences and possible export bans associated with vaccination.
