What happens in an AI outbreak and how it can be prevented: A comprehensive guide

The avian influenza outbreak is a continuing problem for poultry owners. It’s impacted all sizes of flocks, from backyard keepers to commercial producers.

With a mortality rate of up to 99% and no cure, it has devastated entire flocks across the UK, causing major financial problems for poultry owners.

When an outbreak occurs farmers can understandably feel uncertain about the future. That’s why being prepared for one is the only sure way to reduce the impact and be more confident about the future.  

Our report gives clear information on what happens in an outbreak, how to successfully navigate through it and, most importantly, how to prevent an outbreak. Knowing what to do in a worst case scenario helps minimise the impact and reduce stress.

Preparedness is the best protection

Knowing what happens in an outbreak and what you have to do during one helps limit the impact and stress for everyone involved. However, prevention is better than the cure.
