Two new H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks were confirmed in England on 7 November, one at a mixed poultry premises near Garstang, Lancashire, and one at a free-range laying flock near Pocklington, East Yorkshire. Culling, a 3 km protection zone and a 10 km surveillance zone are in place at both sites.
The outbreaks follow a 2 November case in Scotland.
Small, localised outbreaks in the UK have limited direct effect on global feed demand. Continued wild-bird migration raises the risk of wider spread, which could affect UK poultry and egg supply later in the season.
