"more than half of pigs in China have died in the swine flu outbreak"

I was just reading something that said farmers are having trouble getting enough feed for their livestock, such as chickens, and "millions" of them could be in jeopardy. But it also mentioned that there are something like ~300 million chickens living in all, and ~500M slaughtered normally in a year. So on average, millions must die every day anyway.
