Corona crisis hits poultry industry in K'taka

Mysuru, Mar 29 (UNI) The poultry industry in Karnataka has suffered a huge blow owing to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, with stakeholders reporting a drastic decline in price and sales.
After the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (OCVID-19), there were rumours linking the disease to the consumption of chicken and eggs. Despite efforts by the Animal Husbandry Department at the Centre and the state to convince people that there was no scientific evidence to link the two, the consumption of poultry products has witnessed a decline.
The retail price of dressed chicken, which was Rs 140 per kg earlier this year, reached Rs 40 per kg in some parts of the state by mid-March.
