Compulsory housing measures for poultry and captive birds are set to be lifted at the end of this month, the chief veterinary officer from England, Scotland and Wales has announced. The housing measures, which came in across Great Britain in December, were implemented to protect flocks across the country from the disease which is circulating in wild birds.

The last confirmed case in poultry in Great Britain was over a month ago on 12th February in Scotland.
