# Stricter rules aim to reduce risk of bird flu spreading

> Poultry and captive bird keepers across Wales must now follow stricter biosecurity rules to limit avian flu spread from wild birds. The measures follow housing orders in England and Scotland earlier in the week, and Wales has no outbreak yet this year. The UK government does not expect any impact on Christmas turkey availability.

## Why it matters

Housing orders reduce free-range poultry output and can tighten UK turkey and egg supply ahead of the festive season, supporting prices for poultry and eggs. The scale remains limited to UK producers, so impact on global feed demand is small.
