APHA: Due to the increase in cases across England & new findings in wild birds, an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) with mandatory biosecurity measures will be introduced across England & Scotland from noon on Sat 25 Jan. The current regional (AIPZ) with mandatory housing measures will also be extended to include the unitary authorities of North Yorkshire & York & a new area covering Shropshire from 00:01 on Mon 27 Jan. This means all bird keepers must, from these dates, follow the housing rules & stringent biosecurity measures, in addition to following any Protection/Surveillance Zone restrictions in their area, to protect poultry & captive birds.
