The IFA says the Department of Agriculture should introduce a housing order to stop the spread of bird flu.
Over 40 cases of H5N1 have been reported in the Republic so far this year, the latest being a commercial turkey flock in Carlow over the weekend.
Meanwhile, on Monday, a suspected case was found in a commercial poultry premises in Pomeroy, County Tyrone.
A housing order requires all poultry and captive birds to be kept in a secure, enclosed space to prevent mixing with wild birds.
The UK and Northern Ireland is set to introduce its own restrictions tomorrow and the IFA says we should follow suit.
