New app Livetec aims to combat bird flu outbreak in UK poultry industry

Livetec, a UK-based biosecurity solutions company, has introduced a new mobile app aimed at helping British poultry farmers and backyard keepers combat the spread of bird flu amidst the ongoing outbreak in the UK, Farmers Guide reported.

The Livetec Systems App, an industry-first, serves as a disease management tool, empowering farmers to limit the transmission of avian influenza (AI) and effectively safeguard their livestock.

Developed as a user-friendly and practical solution, the Livetec Systems App facilitates early detection and rapid response to animal health issues, offering a range of intuitive features designed for seamless disease management.

One of the key features of the Livetec Systems App is real-time outbreak notifications, which promptly inform farmers if their business is situated within an identified outbreak zone. The app provides immediate guidance on essential measures to be taken in order to protect their flocks. Additionally, the built-in reporting tool simplifies the process of reporting potential disease outbreaks, enabling poultry keepers to swiftly and compliantly alert the relevant authorities, thereby curbing further spread.

The app also includes an in-app interactive map for disease outbreak monitoring, offering users a comprehensive overview of the national outbreak status across the UK. This feature allows farmers and backyard bird owners to easily identify the location of their properties and assess proximity to current outbreaks and surrounding zones.
