Bird keepers must implement biosecurity measures.

An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) has been introduced across Wales.

From 30 January, all bird keepers in Wales must implement strict biosecurity measures to protect poultry and captive birds. This includes a mandatory self-assessment checklist.

The Animal & Plant Health Agency has already introduced AIPZs in Scotland and England, with mandatory housing in some parts of England.

The avian influenza interactive map reveals where restrictions are in place, with further information about Wales’ AIPZ here.
