Britain’s biggest bird flu outbreak in history

So far, more than 3 million birds have had to be culled, and bird flu prevention zones have been introduced across the south-west of England.

Christmas turkey supplies could be at risk if the worst outbreak of bird flu in UK history continues to spread, the National Farmers Union said, according to Sky News.

So far, more than 3 million birds have had to be culled, and bird flu prevention zones have been introduced across the south-west of England.

Avian flu has been found in 155 locations across the UK.

Although the bird population has been severely affected, poultry farmers are increasingly concerned about their chickens.

“If avian flu got into a turkey, for example, it could cause real supply problems in the run-up to Christmas. The reality of that is very painful,” said James Mottershead, chairman of the Poultry Council.

On September 27, the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) expanded bird flu prevention zones following several cases.

Owners are now required by law to adhere to strict biosecurity measures – owners of more than 500 birds are now required to restrict access to the site to people not associated with production.

Currently, farmers are only paid for digging up healthy birds, not for those that die of disease, and not for subsequent losses.

Recall that in Argentina at the end of August, patients with severe forms of pneumonia of unknown origin began to arrive at the hospital.
