UK Poultry Farmers Could Lose £30m at Next Bird Flu Outbreak

UK poultry farmers stand to lose as much as £30m in a major outbreak of avian flu due to EU regulations affecting government compensation. The regulations mean there is a potentially significant gap between the compensation received for slaughtered birds and the amount a poultry farmer could have expected to earn for each bird.

In response, Aon has launched an insurance policy to bridge the gap between government compensation for birds slaughtered at an infected farm and the profit from the wholesale value of the poultry.
