Boehringer Ingelheim joins the International Poultry Council
The IPC brings together poultry industry stakeholders from across the world to build relationships and share challenges.

New membership will help to promote global confidence in poultry products

Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health has joined the International Poultry Council (IPC) as its new associate member.

IPC is a member-driven organisation which represents more than 88 per cent of the world poultry meat production and 95 per cent of the global poultry meat trade.

Jérôme Baudon, global head of poultry at Boehringer Ingelheim, said: “We are very proud to be part of IPC which brings together poultry industry stakeholders and represents a unified and harmonized voice of the poultry sector. Its mission fits well with our commitment to shape the future of poultry well-being and health through disease prevention.”

Established in 2005 in the city of Cologne, Germany, the IPC is committed to promoting science-based solutions and sharing information among poultry producers and regulatory authorities on global issues which affect the supply chain.

Boehringer Ingelheim hopes that this membership will help it to bolster it's participation in the poultry industry worldwide. It aims to utilise it's products, services and veterinary expertise to help poultry producers produce quality poultry meat and eggs.

IPC president Robin Horel added: “IPC is delighted to welcome Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, a leader in poultry health, with a global footprint around the world.

“We are convinced that the company will be a strong voice of the poultry industry on the main topic related to the poultry value chain and will contribute to a fact and science-based approach to public policy and international standards, impacting the poultry sector on food safety, sustainability, animal health and animal welfare."

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
