Between 7 June and 5 September 2025, 183 detections of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus were reported, 156 in wild birds and 27 in domestic poultry, across 15 European countries. Although HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections were predominant in western and south-western Europe, they also occurred along the northernmost coast of Norway. In order of significance during this period, the leading countries in terms of detections were the United Kingdom (excluding Ulster) with 60, Spain (16), the Netherlands (16) and Portugal (15), with the majority involving wild birds. A map of Europe shows that almost all detections occurred along western European migratory flyways. More than 75% of detections in wild birds were associated with breeding seabirds in colonies, particularly European herring gulls.

In standard broiler production systems, birds are housed inside a controlled-environment building, which may or may not have windows, but it is common practice in broiler production for birds to have no access to the outdoors. \n\nA covered veranda offers a solution, allowing access to different environments and areas with variations in space availability, as well as sensory stimulation from the outside, while protecting birds from predators and disease risks. \n\nThe study "Positive impacts of a covered veranda on broiler chicken welfare" by the prestigious French institutes ANSES and ITAVI aimed to evaluate the welfare and health of broiler chickens with access to a covered veranda.
