Free app helps combat spread of avian influenza
Poultry producers are being urged to download the free Livestock
Protect App to track the rapid spread of Avian Influenza (AI) and
strengthen on-farm biosecurity as cases continue to rise across the UK.
The app provides real-time alerts on local disease risks and practical
biosecurity guidance, helping farmers respond quickly to outbreaks. With
Avian Influenza Prevention Zones (AIPZ) now covering the entire UK,
staying informed has never been more critical.
Neal Samet, Livetec general manager and director, explains the
Livestock Protect App equips poultry keepers with the knowledge required
to comply with Government regulations and take swift action to safeguard
flocks.
“The app has been developed to send real-time outbreak and zone
updates straight to users' smartphones, allowing for informed, but rapid
decision-making,” he says.
“Our priority is to ensure every poultry keeper has access to the
most accurate and up-to-date information to protect their flock.
“This is why the app is designed to simplify the notification process
and ensure users have the latest data and guidance at their
fingertips.”
Mr Samet adds: “Given our frontline experience in the fight against
AI and witnessing the impact of the disease on businesses and
individuals, I’d strongly encourage keepers of all sizes to download
the app.”
The Livestock Protect app is now free to download on both Apple and
Android devices, visit the App Store or Google Play Store to
download.
