Have your say: Should all bird keepers or keepers with over 10 birds, compulsory register their birds on the Poultry Register? Should bird keepers update their records on the Register every year? It’s vital we tackle the threat of #BirdFlu. consult.defra.gov.uk/poultry…

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been confirmed at a premises near Ilkeston, Erewash, Derbyshire. More information is available on GOV.UK: gov.uk/bird-flu #BirdFlu #PoultryKeepers @NFU_Poultry
The number of outbreaks of H5N1 HPAI across the UK now stands 106 An industry wide group has been looking at four areas: farms infected premises bird movement and packing centres/egg collections to see where changes are needed and how best to achieve the desired outcome
1 of 2 The avian influenza risk level in poultry remains high where biosecurity is less stringent and medium where stringent biosecurity is in place. This means that the mandatory housing measures which have been in place since 29 Nov 2021 are unlikely to be lifted by 21 March.
