After\u00a0the coronavirus\u00a0<\/a>hit consumption of chicken and eggs to a multi-year low, poultry farmers in\u00a0Karnataka\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Kerala\u00a0<\/a>are facing another problem \u2014\u00a0bird flu\u00a0<\/a>or, formally, the H5N1 virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source is migratory birds from the east. Farmers in the two states have reportedly begun culling chickens, while the state governments have restricted the supply of chicken across their borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBird flu\u00a0<\/a>indications are found in the Mysore region of Karnataka, among small farms with 3,000-4,000 birds. In fact, farmers had found some dead migratory birds which they carried into their farms, which was the major cause of the outbreak. The flu later spread throughout the farm,\u201d said K G Anand, general manager ay Venkateshwara Hatcheries, producer and retailer of Venky’s brand of chicken products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From those small farms in Karnataka, the\u00a0bird flu\u00a0<\/a>spread to\u00a0Kerala.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cNormally, farmers transport 1-1.5 million birds (cocks and hens) from\u00a0Karnataka\u00a0<\/a>to\u00a0Kerala.<\/a>\u00a0That is how it spread to Kerala,\u201d said Sanjeeb Chintawar, business manager, of the National Egg Coordination Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, bird flu outbreaks are reported in February and March, due to widening differences in temperature between day and night. During this period, birds normally travel from cold regions in search of warm weather, with India as a favorite destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFarmers in Kerala and\u00a0Karnataka\u00a0<\/a>have taken adequate care to contain the spread. The situation is under control now,\u201d says Chintawar. The spread of Covid-19 has prompted farmers to sell broiler chicken at Rs 5 a kg in parts of Maharashtra. With Rs 30-35 a kg in North India, the average price is Rs 15 a kg \u2014 the cost of production is said to be Rs 75-80 a kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will take at least a year for poultry farmers to recover from the current loss if Covid -19 is contained and the situation becomes normal,\u201d mourns Anand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
