## Resource

Avian flu’s H5N1 strain has made its first appearance in Australia, detected in migratory seabirds in Western Australia — a new and potentially deadly variant. Unlike the previous H7 outbreak that caused massive culling and egg shortages, the poultry industry is now better prepared, having strengthened biosecurity and ramped up cooperation with government. Egg producers are confident they can avoid major disruptions, though they’re bracing for risk if the virus spreads to key farming zones. Farmers are investing heavily in upgrades like secure enclosures and truck disinfection, even in free-range setups where birds often stay indoors. Experts are calling for more vet support and urging producers to have contingency plans ready — even as the immediate threat remains low.
