UK non-notifiable disease cases: 2020 to 2021
The agricultural industry is constantly being faced with challenges, like disease outbreaks. This report takes a closer look at a range of non-notifiable disease outbreaks across the UK over a two-year period.
Non-notifiable diseases are a constant threat to farming
Outbreaks are not a new concept for farmers as non-notifiable diseases like salmonella, E.coli, histomoniasis and some strains of avian influenza are repeatedly found present on farms across the UK year-round. These outbreaks cause widespread disruption to farms, business and the economy.
Reflecting on a total of 19 cases, the welfare timeline closely examines the cases Livetec assisted with covering crucial details like the location, the disease present and the rough numbers of the poultry involved.
Starting with the first case in Killycloghan on the 10 January 2020, right through to the Autumn of 2021, this timeline highlights the fact that seasonal infections are not the only diseases that farmers have to be vigilant against.
