This episode explores the critical role of biosecurity in protecting poultry health during a challenging 2025/2026 season that has already seen an increase in disease outbreaks. We’ll look at the most common on-farm pitfalls and the practical steps farmers can take to strengthen their defences and safeguard their flocks. Our guest, Sally Hutton from Crowshall Vets, shares insights from over a decade in poultry consultancy — covering real-world approaches to disease prevention, the growing importance of surveillance, and how to balance biosecurity measures with effective vaccination strategies.
