Defra confirmed an H5N1 bird flu case at a commercial poultry site near Dereham in Breckland, Norfolk, the second in the county this autumn. All poultry on the premises will be culled, with a 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone declared.
England and Scotland have also declared an avian influenza prevention zone, and UK autumn cases now total nine.
Culling of commercial layers or broilers tightens domestic poultry supply and can lift chicken and egg prices, while also raising the risk of trade restrictions that affect poultry meal and feed ingredient demand.
