The NFU Poultry Intentions Survey found that 24% of British egg producers and 15% of broiler producers are unlikely or unsure they will still be producing beyond November 2025, mainly due to insufficient returns. Key concerns include avian influenza, supply chain fairness, high energy prices and imports.
The NFU is calling for government support and a long-term strategy.
Possible exits from UK poultry production would gradually reduce feed demand in the UK. The survey signals structural pressure but does not represent an immediate price shock for feed.
