The UK starts a 24-week trial of a bird flu vaccine in turkeys to combat deadly HPAI, which costs £174 million yearly.
The UK has begun a 24-week trial of a bird flu vaccine in turkeys, aiming to assess its effectiveness against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which has caused severe losses in poultry and cost up to £174 million annually.
The trial, led by DEFRA and approved by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, focuses on turkeys due to their high vulnerability.
While routine poultry vaccination remains restricted in the UK over trade and detection concerns, the study seeks to evaluate real-world protection, surveillance integration, and potential impacts on exports.
Similar trials are underway in the Netherlands, Italy, and the US, reflecting growing global interest in vaccines as a tool to manage HPAI, though biosecurity remains the primary defense.
