We should not panic at this hour, rather we should strictly adhere to the right management practices, like bio-security, vaccination, proper monitoring of the farm, and any unusual mortality should be reported immediately to the concern.

Dear All,

After 2 consecutive economical losses to Poultry Industry due to AI fever( facts and rumours) had taught a lot to people .Now industry is well organized in past 5 -6 yeras of span and everybody is aware of the importance of BIOSECURITY measures. Any unusual sign and mortality will be reported to the concern.

But i hereby request you all that the news related with the suspected mortality should not be communicated to media till get the confirmation on disease from laboratory side else those news/forthright statements flipped through news channels will create the panic situation in the general public without knowing the actual fact and the benefits of the same are pulled off by others and producers are become in financial crunch.

Please Organize together for the well being of Industry where each and every person who directly or indirectly involved should be benefited without any losses to our Society and human health.

"Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldon found together"

Regards,

Dr Jaydip
