No bird flu: protect your farm!

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission have joined forces to release a new communication toolkit designed to help farmers and anyone coming into contact with farms to safeguard poultry, other animals and people from avian influenza.

The #NoBirdFlu toolkit, launched to coincide with the start of the new migratory season in Europe, aims to raise awareness about the importance of applying simple biosecurity steps, particularly on small and medium-sized farms. By adopting these measures, farmers will help to protect animal and public health, ensure food production stability, and minimize disruptions to trade.

“The launch of #NoBirdFlu highlights how preparedness today can prevent crises tomorrow,” said Nikolaus Kriz, EFSA’s Executive Director. “By working together we can protect our animals, secure food systems and build resilience against future health threats. EFSA is committed to provide the scientific advice needed to keep bird flu out of European farms.”
