All poultry on the farm near Hornsea in East Riding of Yorkshire will be culled, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) said.
A mass cull of poultry has been ordered after an outbreak of bird flu on a farm in Yorkshire. A 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone have been put in place around the farm near Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire and all the fowl on the property will be destroyed, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said.
Bird flu may be evolving under the radar Bird flu has killed hundreds of millions of birds around the globe in recent years, and has increasingly spread to mammals, raising concerns it may lead to human-to-human transmission. The last avian flu outbreak in the UK happened in February and was described as the country's largest ever. That was the H5N1 strain, while the latest outbreak in Hornsea is the H5N5 strain.
