Karnataka Poultry Farmers and breeders Association urges GOI to drop Notification on Cages

Bengaluru, June 12 (UNI) The Karnataka Poultry Farmers and Breeders Association (KPFBA) has urged the Government of India to immediately drop the notification ‘Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (egg-laying hens) Rules 2019 as it would have a ‘adverse impact’ on the entire poultry sector since both the organised and unorganised poultry farmers would end up giving up poultry farming, in due course of time.
As per the rules by the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, to be effective by early 2020, the size of the cages for poultry should not be less than 550 sq cm per bird and 6-8 birds per cage; use of antibiotics only for therapeutic use and under the supervision of a veterinarian; regular inspection of poultry farms by authorised personnel, who should follow proper bio-security protocols etc.
The poultry sector has been given 5 years to switch over to new systems.
