FACE THE FACTS- VACCINATE


Only a small proportion of bireds in Lancashire is vaccinated against Fowl Pest. Every unvaccinated bird is a potential site for the multiplication of Fowl Pest virus and the perpetuation of the disease in the county. Control of Fowl Pest can only be achieved by ensuring that the. vast majority of birds are fully vaccinated. Vaccinate your birds now and help safeguard Lancashire's poultry industry.
