UK poultry producers face avian influenza losses, input costs and falling margins at once. About 1.8 million laying hens have been removed from production due to the HPAI epidemic through July 2022, equal to 7.1% of the UK flock, and feed prices have risen more than £30 a tonne for conventional feed.
