Upon confirmation of the presence of avian influenza in the UK, APHA immediately mobilised the National Emergency Epidemiology Group (NEEG). But what is the role of this group and why is it so important?

David Holdsworth has been appointed as the new Chief Executive of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

All bird keepers should maintain strict biosecurity measures until further notice to keep their birds safe from avian influenza.

New post-mortem TB PCR test will cut the waiting time for results to just three weeks for slaughterhouse cases and non-bovine farmed animals.
