BIRD FLU UPDATE

Due to the high number of new bird flu cases in the UK, from noon today (17,10,22), the government has announced a country wide Avian Influenza Protection Zone (AIPZ) 

This means all poultry keepers MUST,

  • Keep free ranging birds within fenced areas, and that ponds, watercourses and permanent standing water must be fenced off (except in specific circumstances e.g. zoo birds).
  • Clean and disinfect footwear and keep areas where birds live clean and tidy.
  • Minimise movement in and out of bird enclosures.
  • Reduce any existing contamination by cleansing and disinfecting concrete areas, and fencing off wet or boggy areas
  • Keep domestic ducks and geese separate from other poultry.
  • Ensure the areas where birds are kept are unattractive to wild birds, for example by netting ponds, and by removing wild bird food sources.
  • Feed and water your birds in enclosed areas to discourage wild birds.
