The Estonian authorities are currently determining the type of disease and confirmation will be obtained within two weeks once the tests have been completed. Tallegg sells and markets eggs in Estonia. Due to the suspicion of disease, Tallegg has suspended deliveries of eggs from its own production chain and put temporary arrangements in place to manage deliveries. The disruption is expected to have little financial significance as Tallegg carries insurance to cover losses arising from animal disease. The suspicion of disease is limited to Tallegg's egg production only. The company's broiler production is not affected in any way and will continue to operate normally.
