Spread is ‘really high for time of year’, says Christine Middlemiss as 500,000 captive birds culled and 40 premises infected
The UK’s chief vet has expressed alarm at an unprecedented spread of avian flu that has forced 500,000 captive birds to be culled so far this winter.
Christine Middlemiss said she was “very concerned about what’s happening” as the disease continues to hit more poultry farms and bird sanctuaries.
