Rampur. More than 80 thousand chickens have died in four days due to bird flu. Poultry farm owners have suffered a lot due to this. The normal price of a chicken is around 100 rupees.

After the bird flu was confirmed in the investigation, action was taken to destroy the rest of the chickens from the poultry farm as well. More than 35 thousand chickens have been killed here. Similarly, more than 16 thousand chickens were destroyed in Chanden village.
More than 20 thousand chickens have died from two poultry farms in Dilari village of Milkkhanam. Nine thousand chickens died from a poultry farm in Mustafa Khurd. Thus, about 80 thousand chickens have died in the district in four days. With such a large number of chickens dying, the poultry farm business is now going to prove to be a loss-making deal. However, teams are reaching the spot and burying the chickens in pits, and the Animal Husbandry Department is sending samples of live and dead chickens for testing. So that the disease can be detected. There is a fear of the spread of the disease through consumption. In case of bird flu in chickens, there is a danger to the health of the general public. According to experts, this disease can also reach humans through infection. Also, there is a risk of getting sick by consuming the meat of infected chicken. Due to this reason, the administration has banned chicken and eggs for 21 days in the district. On August 11, the administration had issued this order across the district. Business was slow during the month of Sawan. Those doing poultry business are very worried these days. For the first month, their business was affected due to Sawan. Demand for chicken was low as chicken shops etc. were closed. Before the business could increase after the end of Sawan, bird flu arrived in Rampur. Not only are the chicken shops closed due to bird flu, but now they are incurring losses due to the sudden death of chickens at the poultry farms.
