Concerns of a nationwide egg shortage have been raised after some supermarkets were pictured with empty shelves.
The UK has been facing its largest outbreak of bird flu with more than 200 cases confirmed on commercial premises, smallholdings and in pet birds since October last year.
They are also being urged to follow other biosecurity measures mandated by the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone at all times to protect their flock and prevent the risk of future outbreaks. Ben Pike, from the British Free Range Egg Producers Association, said bird flu was a ‘contributing factor’ in egg farmers struggling, but also told the BBC that pressure from prices was ‘probably a greater factor at the moment’.
