The government has lifted the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) for poultry and captive birds, introduced to help stop the spread of bird flu.
The risk of avian influenza has now reduced to ‘low’ for all poultry, the government confirmed on Tuesday (4 June).
The AIPZ, which consisted of enhanced biosecurity measures, was brought in across Britain in October 2022 when there was a medium risk for farms.
The measures were seen as vital in protecting flocks across the country from the virus, which is still circulating in wild birds.
