BBC learned that nearly 1.8 million cultivated birds and prisoners have been executed in the past three months due to the spread of bird flu throughout the United Kingdom.

There were 33 outbreaks of the virus on the farmer, and on Wednesday, the government said that bird guards in five other English provinces would have to house herds at home on Sunday.

The danger of humans remains low, while eating chicken and eggs to eat if it is cooking properly, but there are concerns about the effect of bird flu on the mental health of farmers.

The government said that it had quickly acted for the process of all poultry in the affected buildings “to protect the food security of Britain”, but it confessed to the devastating effect it had.

A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said that the 1.78 million birds were executed since their first outbreak on November 5 was a “small percentage” of the total industry production, which is about 20 million birds per week.

At the beginning of the worst outbreak of bird flu, 3.2 million birds were executed between October 2021 and September 2022.

Lucy Sanderson, one of these farmers affected in 2021, from northern Yorkshire, was saying that people were not aware of the effect of mental health that was on birds on farmers.

“It was terrible. I cried for a week – and I think I was a strong person,” she said.

“In addition to losing my job, my income and my daily life, I also destroyed the lives of my employees as I had to make them out of need. The huge effect was huge.

“I am terrified of his return.”

“There is a lot of anxiety and anxiety between poultry farmers, in some respects, panic,” said Gary Ford, of the British Free Egg Producers Association, said that there is “a lot of anxiety and anxiety between poultry farmers, and in some respects, panic,” said Gary Ford, of the British Free Egg Producers Association.

Biocructing restrictions are currently throughout England, Wales and Scotland as part of the bird influenza prevention.

On Wednesday, it has been announced that all farmers and bird guards in Herfordshere, the Sexterster, and Chichere, Merciaid and Langchire will also have to house their herds from midnight on February 16.

Housing orders are already present via East Riding of Yorkshire, City of Kingston at Hull, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Shropshire, York and North Yorkshire.

James Mottershid, head of the National Poultry Poultry Council of the Farmers Syndicate, said that the bird influenza puts “huge emotional and financial pressure on agricultural families.”

“Farmers want to protect the health and welfare of their birds, and it is destroyed to see this being at risk,” he added.

A DEFRA spokeswoman said that compensation will be paid to any farm of all the healthy birds that have been executed for diseases control.

She said: “We know that the destroyed bird flu that it has caused to farmers and poultry producers, and for this reason we have taken more measures in recent weeks, including providing housing orders in the most affected areas.”

“We have acted quickly to admire all poultry in the affected buildings to stop the risk of the spread of the disease and protect the food security of Britain.”
