Animal disease surveillance is key to improving disease analysis, early warning and predicting disease emergence and spread. As a preventive measure, disease surveillance is aimed at reducing animal health-related risks and major consequences of disease outbreaks on food production and livelihoods. Early warning systems are dependent on the quality of animal disease information collected at all levels via effective surveillance; therefore, data gathering and sharing is essential to understand the dynamics of animal diseases in diverse agro-ecological settings to support effective decision-making to prevent disease and for emergency response. Animal disease surveillance systems track zoonotic dieases and identify emerging diseases and, as such, are recognized as a global public good to support improved animal and global public health.

The aim of this study is to provide an assessment of the potential for organic poultry production in England and Wales and, in particular, to identify likely technical, financial and market constraints for the development of organic chicken, egg and table meat production enterpises. The focus of this study is on businesses that might choose to adopt organic poultry production, as well as free-range producers who might wish to convert to full organic standards. It is assumed that organic poultry production systems are unlikely to result from the conversion of intensive conventional poultry units
