Poultry Prices Decline in Egypt
Introduction
On Sunday, poultry prices in Egypt experienced a fresh decline in both the stock market and local markets. This drop comes after a significant decrease in recent days.

According to Al-Zaini, this drop is primarily attributed to the decrease in feed prices and their increased availability. Additionally, the high temperatures have played a significant role in reducing prices. The hot weather forces breeders to sell their birds early to prevent them from staying too long in poultry farms.
Impact of High Temperatures
Al-Zaini further mentioned that the mortality rate of poultry due to high temperatures ranges from 2 to 5 percent.
