The Franconia, Pennsylvania-based company reported net income of US$10.8m for its fiscal second quarter, compared with $1.3m in the year-ago period.

Pilgrim’s Pride, which is the third-largest poultry producer in the US, said gains from settlements from vitamin and methionine lawsuits were partly offset by the negative effect of an outbreak of avian flu that cost around $7.5m during the quarter, reported Reuters.
