December

Defra has at last published all the details of the three new general licences for the control of certain bird species effective from 1st January 2021, plus its “standard licence conditions for trapping wild birds” under these licences.

This presentation was delivered by Kenny Nutting from St David's Poulty Team during our recent Game 2020 Conference and covers the best practice rearing of gamebirds.

The Chief Veterinary Officers for England, Scotland and Wales have agreed to bring in new measures to help protect poultry and captive birds, following a number of cases of avian influenza in both wild and captive birds in the UK. The new measures come into force on Monday 14th December.
