> The UK National Farmers Union is lobbying for financial support to cover culling costs for non-notifiable H6N1 avian influenza, which has been confirmed on farms in Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Co Monaghan. Culling costs are estimated at £53,000 for 32,000 free-range layers and £105,000 for 150,000 broilers.
