The UK Animal and Plant Health Agency expects avian influenza cases to increase as colder weather arrives and migratory birds return. H5N1 was confirmed at commercial poultry premises near Brigg in North Lincolnshire and Biggar in the Scottish Borders; protection and surveillance zones were established and birds at both sites are to be culled.
Further outbreaks and culling could reduce UK poultry supply and support chicken prices, while disease controls may disrupt movements and trade. The confirmed cases and expected seasonal rise point to a meaningful but geographically limited risk.
