Egg shortage expected to continue in 2025

 

The poultry industry expects the shortage of eggs will continue throughout 2025 because of the numbers of chickens culled following outbreaks of avian influenza. Last year more than 2 million laying hens were euthanised in Australia. The shortage demonstrates the importance of local production and provides a great opportunity for new small scale egg operations to supply needs in each area. Low density systems are far less susceptible to disease than the major industrial-scale producers.  An additional benefit is that the supply chain is far shorter. Most outbreaks of avian influenza originated on major production facilities spread by workers travelling between businesses.
