Keep domestic and wild birds apart
The latest outbreak of bird flu in Lancashire is not a game-changer for the Isle of Man.
That's the view of Chief Veterinary Officer Alistair Breed after H5N8 avian flu was discovered in breeding pheasants in Preston.
When the first British case was announced before Christmas advice was issued to poultry keepers on the Island, rather than copying the stringent restrictions introduced in England and Wales.
Mr Breed says the latest development is disappointing and is reminding owners what precautions they can take:
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
IoM 'must use voice on international stage'
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
'Not appropriate' for gov't to help individuals in struggling hospitality sector
David Scott and Jean Teare elected to Port St Mary Commissioners
Do you have a Guild trophy to return?
