By: With three outbreaks of avian influenza in the UK over the past nine months, the British Poultry Council said that it forms the single biggest threat to the UK and global poultry industry.
The topics covered will be areas such as biosecurity, early reporting of disease, Government compensation, requirements of secondary cleaning and disinfection to restocking and a return to country freedom from the disease, as well as contingency planning for exotic notifiable disease outbreak on farm and consequential losses incurred as a direct/indirect result of an outbreak.
