Bird influenza has actually been discovered at 2 poultry farms near Fakenham and Reepham – bringing Norfolk’s overall to 50 verified cases in the last 6 weeks.

The county is at the epicentre of the country’s worst-ever break out of bird influenza, triggering all free-range and yard flocks to be bought inside your home to stop the infection dispersing.

The 2 brand-new cases verified by Defra on November 6 will imply all poultry on the contaminated properties will be humanely chosen, contributing to a toll of numerous countless chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks butchered in current weeks.

And it reveals the infection is spreading out beyond the considerable illness hotspots in Breckland – consisting of the l lth case near Dereham, verified on November 5, and the fifteenth case near Attleborough on November 3.

Recently, the getting worse epidemic triggered calls from market leaders and MPs for more federal government action to enhance the settlement procedure and make earlier payments to virus-hit farmers.
