The U.S. government is developing a vaccine to protect poultry from new strains of avian flu that have recently killed birds from Arkansas to Washington state. Within two months, scientists at a U.S. Department of Agriculture research lab in Georgia will test the vaccine on chickens to see how well it prevents them from getting sick and dying of the virus, which the government says is spread by wild birds.

Tyson Foods stands firm with 2015 guidance amid bird flu concerns
2015-03-18 22:52:43| Food - Topix.net
The story at Tyson Foods is an ever-changing saga as the meat giant continues its metamorphosis away from commodity-based business models to more consumer-branded and higher-margin products following the $8.55 billion acquisition of Hillshire Brands in August 2014. At Tyson Foods' presentation at the Consumer Analyst Group of Europe annual conference in London on Wednesday , executives told analysts that Tyson's branded product portfolio, operational execution and other improvements from the acquisition of Hillshire Brands give them the confidence to reiterate fiscal 2015 guidance of $3.30 to $3.40 adjusted earnings per share.

U.S. may impose tougher curbs to contain bird flu in Arkansas
2015-03-16 07:03:32| Food - Topix.net
U.S. authorities are considering imposing tougher restrictions in Arkansas to contain a virulent strain of avian flu in the heart of America's poultry region in a bid to minimize international trade disruptions and contain the virus. The H5N2 flu discovered in Arkansas last week is the state's first case of a strain that causes massive internal hemorrhaging in poultry, can kill nearly every bird in an infected flock within 48 hours, and is prone to mutate.

Bird flu found in heart of US poultry region, prompting import restrictions from countries
2015-03-13 14:19:47| Food - Topix.net
Mexico, the biggest buyer of United States chicken, and other major countries imposed new import restrictions on Thursday after a virulent form of bird flu was found at the heart of America's poultry region. The virus' discovery in Arkansas is expected to prompt similar moves by up to 40 more countries, and the restrictions are likely to depress prices and hurt US poultry producers, economists said.
