Advice to Keepers
Owners of animals have a key responsibility in preventing or eradicating disease in animals.
Measures can include careful restocking, practicing good biosecurity and being ready to implement measures aimed at controlling specific diseases should they be present.
Practicing good biosecurity is particularly important - offering peace of mind, healthy stock and viable businesses.
With a heightened risk of avian influenza reaching Great Britain, specific advice is offered to keepers of birds in order that this, and other avian diseases, can be prevented or controlled.
