Ramadoss Says Bird Flu Death Toll Among Poultry Has Decreased
January 30, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Bird Flu News
The 5000 crore organised poultry industry in West Bengal has been badly hit following the outbreak of bird flu.
Since January 15, when the epidemic was officially declared, chicken sales and exports have dipped to an all time low.
Poultry owners are being paid 40 rupees for each bird that is culled. Poultry farm owners hope banks and financial institutions will back them again this time.
In 2006, after bird flu was detected in Maharashtra, the Centre had given a four per cent subsidy on interest on loans given to the organised sector and backed it up with subsidy on poultry feed.
