An H5N1 bird flu outbreak in Cumbria led to the culling of 43,000 birds, the third such incident since October 2024.
A highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza outbreak was confirmed on September 28, 2025, at a commercial broiler breeding farm near Wetheral, Cumbria, leading to the culling of 43,000 birds.
Defra established a 3km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone, enforcing movement restrictions on poultry and related products.
This marks the third broiler breeder flock affected since October 2024, intensifying concerns over the ongoing bird flu crisis in the UK, which has now seen over 2.36 million birds culled since then.
The virus remains endemic in wild bird populations, complicating control efforts.
Defra continues to urge strict biosecurity measures, emphasizing that properly cooked poultry and eggs remain safe for consumption.
