Chickens and other poultry

Biosecurity actions help to reduce the risk of common and emergency animal diseases like avian influenza or Newcastle disease affecting your poultry. These actions will also minimise spread if disease does occur.  

Voluntary housing is one of a range of biosecurity measures that may be applied by poultry owners in Western Australia to reduce the risk of H5 bird flu occurring in their birds.

Avian influenza is a reportable disease. All poultry owners should use good biosecurity practices that reduce the chances of avian influenza occurring in their birds.
