Chicken sales flying high again
Though the bird flu scare has not faded, with the Centre lifting the ban on poultry movement between states, poultry business is expected to resume on a high note.
"The check-posts along the borders of the state will now be removed, and everything will be back to normal,"said animal husbandry and veterinary sciences commissioner D S Ashwat.
Poultry business in the state has already picked up by 70 per cent. As for chickens, they are back to ruling the roost.
While two weeks back the sale was as low as one lakh kg per day, today it has increased to 3 lakh kg. The total production of chicken in the state is 8 lakh kg every day.
The government too, by organising free chicken and egg feast, is trying to assure the people that they need no longer fear consuming chicken dishes.
"Free feasts are being organised through the state. On March 14, a mega chicken mela, to be inaugurated by chief minister H D Kumaraswamy, will be held at the Palace Grounds, where 7,000 chickens and 20,000 eggs will be cooked for the 20,000 people.
Karnataka state poultry federation president D K Kantaraju said, "While the state produces 1.5 crore eggs every day, Bangalore consumes 55 lakh eggs, other cities consume 40 lakh.
Venkateshwara Hatcheries, which controls 68 per cent of the broiler market and 80 per cent of the egg market, is hoping for the market to catch up.
No tandoori nights yet: Most hotels are not yet comfortable serving chicken. Oberoi Hotel spokesman said, "We are not serving any item of chicken until the guest specifically asks for it.
We will discontinue serving it until further orders from head office."Park Hotel executive chef Abhijit Saha said, "We are strictly adhering to the WHO report which says that poultry products if cooked above 80 degrees Celsius is safe for consumption.
