Cases of bird flu continue and we urge you all to keep up to date with the situation where you live or where you may be considering buying stock.
England is in an avian influenza prevention zone (AIPZ). By law you must follow these strict biosecurity and hygiene rules to stop bird flu spreading.
You may also be in a disease control zone or AIPZ where you must house your birds. Check what zone you’re in and follow the rules.
Principally the cases have been in large commercial enterprises, but there have been a couple of ‘backyard’ flocks.
An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) with mandatory biosecurity measures is in force across Great Britain with additional mandatory housing measures in force in the following areas:
Cheshire
City of Kingston upon Hull
Herefordshire
East Riding of Yorkshire
Lancashire
Lincolnshire
Merseyside
Norfolk
North Yorkshire
part of Shropshire
