About 600,000 free-range turkeys and geese grown for festive period have died or been culled, MPs told
Half of the free-range poultry grown for Christmas in the UK have died or been culled because of the bird flu epidemic, a poultry industry leader has told MPs.
The British Poultry Council chief executive, Richard Griffiths, told the environment, food and rural affairs committee on Tuesday that free-range poultry had been hit “very, very hard”.
