Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 was confirmed in commercial poultry in England on 14 February. This is the first case of 2024 in the UK.
Chief Veterinary Officer Robert Huey has issued a message to all bird keepers. Dr. Huey said: “The risk of avian flu remains a real and constant threat as the disease continues to circulate across Great Britain and Europe. The confirmation of this first case of the year in England, is a stark reminder that all bird keepers must remain vigilant and continue to practice high standards of biosecurity. Effective biosecurity measures are vital in protecting Northern Ireland’s (NI) poultry flock from this disease.
