Poultry: Social media content and infographics

20 May 2026

Poultry

We have created a suite of shareable content to help members showcase the British poultry industry on social media, covering both the egg and poultrymeat sector.

From contributing more than £10 billion to the UK economy, to creating the ingredients of the food we all love, British poultry farmers have a lot to be proud of. Help us share and showcase the great story that British farmers have to tell.

The images below contain just some of the facts and figures to help you showcase the ways British farmers work to protect the environment, care for their animals and provide nutritious food for the nation.
