UK poultry farmers demand government issue housing order over rising Avian flu cases
Fox News
Poultry and egg farmers have asked the U.K. government to issue a nationwide housing order for chickens after a recent bird flu outbreak.
The response from chicken and egg producers comes as England deals with 27 outbreaks in September across three counties. Producers specializing in Christmas goose are being hit especially hard by Avian Influenza.
Christine Middlemiss, the chief veterinary officer of the United Kingdom, said she expects bird flu cases to rise for the foreseeable future due to migration patterns of birds coming back to the country.
