 In the last few years, we've seen an unprecedented number of cases of avian influenza or bird flu in Great Britain in both kept and wild birds. At the moment, low numbers of bird flu cases continue to be confirmed elsewhere in Britain and evidence tells us the virus is still circulating in wild birds. In the coming months we expect to see migrating wildfowl enter the UK and this is also likely to affect the risk to our poultry. I would like to thank bird keepers across Wales for all their efforts to protect their birds from this virus to date. As we move into autumn and winter, it is more important than ever for all bird keepers whether you keep a few birds or a few thousand to ensure the very highest standards of biosecurity and hygiene are practiced at all times to protect your flock. Vigilance for any signs of bird flu in your flock is also key. It's important you report any signs of suspicion of avian influenza immediately. Poultry keepers should continue to promptly report any suspicion of disease in their birds to the Animal and Plant Health Agency, APHA, on 0300 303 8268. Members of the public are also reminded that whilst the risk from bird flu remains very low you should not touch or pick up dead or visibly sick wild birds. You can report sightings of dead wild birds to the DEFRA helpline on 03459 335577 or via the online reporting tool on the DEFRA website. The bird flu virus can get into your flock in several ways and biosecurity and hygiene remain the absolute best form of defence. You should make every effort to keep your birds away from wild birds, always use clean protective clothing and equipment and keep a record of visitors and movements both off and on to where you keep your birds. This will all help to keep your birds and other kept birds safe. There is advice on how to keep your flock safe, freely available on the Welsh Government's website including the biosecurity self-assessment checklist. There is one to help owners of small flocks to keep their birds free of disease and one for commercial poultry. Please do take the time to look at the measures you have in place to keep bird flu out of your flock. So in short, protect your flock, keep disease out, stay vigilant and report any concerns immediately. Jochann Vow-Yau, thank you very much.
