A nationwide housing order in England, issued by the UK Chief Veterinary Officer, takes effect at midnight on Friday, November 13 after rising highly pathogenic avian influenza cases in wild and captive birds. Turkey farmer Chris Mobbs in Cratfield, Suffolk, must bring about 3,000 birds indoors ahead of Christmas.
Housing orders reduce free-range access and can raise labour and litter costs for poultry producers, tightening turkey supply into the Christmas season. Feed-buyer impact is modest, but sustained outbreaks can lift poultry prices and feed demand shifts.
