Beyond the housing order: Julian Sparrey joins Poultry Network to discuss avian influenza

As the poultry industry responds to increasing avian influenza pressure, Livetec's Group Technical Director, Julian Sparrey, joined Poultry Network to share his perspective on the latest developments and what they mean for producers.

With England's new housing order coming into force, the conversation with Poultry Network's Jake Davies explores the wider disease situation, the reasoning behind the latest measures and the practical challenges facing poultry businesses.

Drawing on Livetec's extensive experience in disease response, Julian offers an operational perspective on the risks producers face and why effective biosecurity remains so important, regardless of whether birds are housed.

The discussion also considers the different approaches being taken across the UK, the wider European disease picture and the importance of maintaining vigilance as the situation develops.

For Livetec, these conversations are an important part of helping the industry stay informed, understand emerging risks and strengthen its preparedness.
