How have economic and environmental effects impacted poultry farmers?
There are many challenges facing British farmers today. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine we’ve seen the cost of feed, fuel and fertiliser soar. Along with the worst ever outbreak of avian influenza, post-covid and Brexit concerns, farmers are facing very testing times.
‘Livestock matters: environmental and economical impacts on poultry farmers’, our new spotlight, examines the issues facing them today and what the future might bring.
Five key issues
We take a deep dive into five of the most pressing issues in poultry and egg farming today:
The feed, fuel and fertiliser trifecta

Climate change
Britain leaving the EU
Our spotlight also covers the range of biosecurity solutions that can help mitigate against the worst effects of some of these issues, all whilst saving money.
