AI Update
The news form Germany is not good. German Authorities have confirmed more than 100 new cases of H5N1 in wild birds over last weekend. Disease control zones have been established in line with EU legislation. So what does that mean for us in the UK. Well the other glitch which is outside of our control is that the French Government will not review the pigeon racing ban until the 2nd August. We will however be pushing DEFRA to allow us to race from Belgium as the authorities there have stated that there are no restrictions in racing from Belgium. We do have a few weeks to let things settle down abroad but it would be good to get something formalized so that young bird programmes can at least look a little more certain.
