Dr. Ajay Chopra, a poultry consultant, tackles challenges like rising feed costs, viral diseases, and biosecurity. He stresses the importance of vaccination, scattered poultry farming, and farmer education for growth. With low egg consumption and high protein needs in India, he envisions a bright future for the industry, highlighting eggs' role in addressing malnutrition.
Role of eggs and chicken meat to address malnutrition is repeatedly discussed along with vaccines, biosecurity, disease prevention and control, the rising feed costs and use of alternate feed ingredients, no one talks about the farmers profitability, his debt related problems and his future. Need of the hour is farmers survival, feed plants, pharma companies and their distributors make money, the farmers don't, this topic is important and i request seniors in the poultry industry to look into it.
