My dream is to see India as the number one country on the poultry map of the world. An industry driven by technology, innovation and self-reliance, to provide the farmer total support for poultry development, to enable the industry to play a major role in global markets, to be one of the greatest contributors and to see a big future for the poultry industry.” A DREAM WITH A DIFFERENCE Few have the determination to cherish their dream, nurture it and translate it into reality. One such man was Dr. B.V. Rao. Through sheer hard work and conviction he transformed poultry from a simple cottage enterprise into a truly integrated industry - all in a period of 25 years, inspired and greatly supported by his wife Smt. Uttara Devi Rao who had started a small poultry business in Hyderabad in 1969. The dream took shape in 1971with the setting up of Venkateshwara Hatcheries Ltd – The Flagship Company of the VH Group. Since then there has been no looking back. Nurtured and developed under the genius of Dr. B.V. Rao, Venkateshwara Hatcheries Ltd. went on to become one of the largest and most integrated poultry group in the world. It is for this reason that Dr. B.V. Rao is often referred to as the Father of Modern Poultry in India. He was awarded India's highest civilian award - THE PADMASHREE in 1990. National Citizen's Award conferred by Shri Rajiv Gandhi for outstanding Contribution Towards the Development of Rural India Through Poultry and Innovative Techniques, in 1988.

THE INSPIRATION Behind every man's success there is a woman SMT. UTTARA DEVI RAO, a warmhearted lady with an iron will inspired Dr.Rao to venture into what was a mere backyard activity and to transform it into a modern vibrant industry.

Dr. B.V. Rao's dream for the Indian farmer today is a reality. That same farmer now looks at the VH Group as a source of leadership and technological expertise. As pioneers in the ﬁeld, the group has won several national and international awards. Soaring into the new millennium under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Rao's daughter Chairperson Smt. Anuradha Desai the group has met with unprecedented success and In this way the VH Group strives towards its goal in keeping with its philosophy and in keeping one mans dream alive - FOREVER

Chicken Antibodies Help Fight Against Covid-19

ntibodies produced in chicken eggs could lead to a better diagnostic test for COVID-19. We are using the immune system of the chicken to produce antibodies against the COVID-19 virus," said Bruce Rathgeber, associate poultry professor at the Atlantic Poultry Research Centre on Dalhousie University's Agricultural Campus in Canada. Joining Rathgeber in the announcement was Jonathan Zuccolo, president of Canadabased AfﬁnityImmuno Inc. "Our research is focused on determining if proteins from the surface spikes of the virus injected into chickens will produce antibodies that are useful for developing tests to screen for the presence of the virus," Rathgeber said. Chickens as Models Chickens are a popular model for research involving the protein antigens of humans and other mammals. Compared to rabbits or other

Combating COVID-19

animal models, one chicken can produce an enormous number of antibodies, which are proteins that. Help ﬁght off and prevent future infections. They also can produce antibodies cheaper and faster than other methods. In addition, chicken antibodies are harvested from the egg yolks, so we don't have to collect blood like you would if you were using a mammal such as a rabbit or mouse." Zuccolo said."Typically, one egg can yield about half a milligram of speciﬁc antibody," he said. "For perspective, this is enough anti-body to make about 1.000 virus tests. Harvesting from chicken eggs results in a very high-purity antibody that can be used in a Hide range of applications."

Researchers at the Dalhousie poultry research center will send the egg yolks of chickens injected with egg yolks of chickens injected with a s y n t h e t i c CO V I D - 1 9 s p i ke protein created in China to AfﬁnityImmuno, a Canadian p r o v i d e r of R & D s u p p o r t services for biological drug discovery. Spike proteins are a key component in helping the virus stick e to human cells to human cells. The injection is safe to the birds because it is only a virus protein, not the complete virus. In addition. Research has shown that chickens are not susceptible to COVID-19. Not the complete virus. Scientists at Afﬁnitvlmmuno will then extract antibodies from the egg yolks and evaluate their use in a simple-to-use diagnostic test for the virus. The test could also be used to identify biomarkers that predict the chance of reinjection, identify biomarkers that predict the chance of reinjection, the researchers said.

Introduction

Precision poultry farming (PPF)

Precision poultry farming consist of three separate functions like sensing and monitoring, analysis and decision making, and intervention. It facilitate automation of these processes by decreasing the need for manual observations and human decision making, greatly decreasing the time and effort needed to manage large numbers of birds. PPF allows birds to be to be monitored and managed in real-time, and for management to be carried out on the smallest individual unit, sometimes as a single bird approach. This allows producers to manage larger numbers of birds and take care of each and every bird in the stock. The individual animal management on large poultry operations can be implicated by the poultry house environment, precision feeding systems, and poultry welfare.

s the world's population increases, demand and need for poultry and its products will continue to increase. To meet this demand, production to be increased by increasing the stock density and manage more birds without affecting its welfare. But due to the shortage of labour and increasing biosecurity practices will make it very difďŹ cult for producers to monitor the production, health, and welfare status of all their birds. Engaging smart poultry management systems is necessary to increase production while minimizing costs and the use of resources. Smart poultry management systems include precision poultry farming technologies such as smar t sensors, automation of farm processes, and data driven decision making platforms will have great implications for poultry production in the areas of the poultry house environment, bird welfare, precision feeding, and rapid detection of infectious disease. This individual bird management system in big commercial farms will surely enhance production in the poultry industry.

including carbon dioxide and ammonia. Temperature and relative humidity levels can impact bird health; additionally, relative humidity levels are known to be linked with concentrations of ammonia and carbon dioxide gas in poultry houses. When levels of these gases increase, a decrease in production and bird health issues may occur. Currently, several technologies for monitoring environmental variables in which multi-sensor systems capable of tracking temperature, air velocity and differential pressure in broiler houses have been shown to effectively assess barn ventilation system function (Bustamante et al., 2012). Robotics are another potential technology that could be used to monitor and maintain the environment of poultry houses by monitoring remotely and decreasing the need for human workers to enter the poultry h o u s e , t h e re b y e n h a n c i n g biosecurity.

B. Precision feeding systems Feeding on poultry farms is an important aspect of raising poultry and it is an area where precision feeding technologies can have a major impact on p ro d u c t i o n . T h e s y s te m i s developed to regulate the release of feed to individual birds, one at a time, based on the weight of the bird that is seeking feed. This style of feeding also allows for numerous feeding periods per day which has been shown to enhance feed conversion compared to the standard once daily feeding. This system can weigh individual birds while simultaneously using radio frequency identiﬁcation from a wing tag to track their feed intake more precisely.

for bird welfare to be assessed; like digital imaging, vocalization analysis and infrared thermal imaging. Capturing the movement patterns of broiler chickens in poultry houses with digital imaging technologies enables measurement of chicken activity, which can be used as an indicator of wel fare s tatus . Another method that is being explored as an indicator of poultry welfare is vocalisation analysis, which uses the sounds that birds produce as an indicator of health and welfare. Infrared thermal imaging is an imaging technique that can be used to assess poultry body temperature with minimum invasiveness. Infrared thermal imaging can be used to detect c h i c ke n t e m p e r a t u re a f t e r

diagnosis and detection of infectious disease. Wearable sensors for disease detection can determine any infection in chickens by detecting changes in p h y s i o l o g y a n d m o ve m e n t patterns signiﬁcantly when a bird is infected. Biosensors are another type detect or semploy a bio receptor that uses a ﬁxed molecule, including proteins, nucleic acids, or other materials, that is capable of detecting the presence of an entity (pathogen, protein, nucleic acid and others) in a sample and can transduce this recognition into either a visual or electrical signal. Conclusion

C. Welfare monitoring systems Prominent concern of the poultry industry is maintaining appropriate bird welfare standards. The ability to understand the welfare status of large numbers of birds can be made feasible with the implementation of new technologies. There are many noninvasive technologies that allow

changes in diet, poultry house environment and stress levels. D. Sensors in disease diagnosis Poultry diseases can pose a signiﬁcant health threat to both animals and humans. Smart poultry management practices can mitigate the risk of infection and disease through rapid

Practices in the poultry industry have already been advanced by the implementation of advancements but precision poultr y farming technologies in various areas, including automated systems for weighing birds and determining feed and water consumption, in addition to poultry barn imaging technologies for bird behaviour analysis. These technologies will continue to be developed and will allow producers to increase the size of poultry production systems and raise more birds leading to greater levels of production. Now, it is need of an hour to adapt and invent new etechnologies for the improvement of poultry industry.

With the arrival of monsoon, farmer needs to give a little bit more care and attention towards his crops along with the livestock. As we know, poultry farming is continuously growing as the most proﬁtable agribusiness across the globe including India. However, monsoon comes as a challenging season for poultry farmers which could be very tormenting. As rainy and cold season brings changes in temperature and weather conditions, and it leave a deep impact to the poultry farm. You need to know that weather conditions play a vital role in poultry farming as well. Hence, as a poultry farmer, it is very important to learn how to operate poultry farm during rainy seasons.

Introduction

Rural housing systems

Poultr y housing has two important roles. One is it allows to organize and concentrate the birds in a manageable unit. The other one is the poultr y house provides a physical micro and macro environment which is essential for optimum egg and meat production.

Rural housing systems of poultr y can be backyard rearing, semi intensive system and free range or scavenging system.

Among the poultry housing rural system of rearing poultry is an important constituent in diversifying agricultural production and increasing household food security. The chickens reared in villages acts as readily available animal protein source to rural households. Housing in modern poultry is an important input constituting the major component of initial capital investment. In modern poultry houses, the structures are constructed and designed considering the birds health and production efﬁciency. Rural housing is at the developmental stage where housing is provided to village chickens with the available materials such as wood, mud, bamboo, sugarcane stems etc.,

Backyard system of rearing poultry

The birds are reared in the backyard of the homestead. Here, there is an area that is fenced either with Bamboo, mud wall, thorn bushes etc., and birds forage within this area. Backyard rearing is mostly seen in villages, but in some houses in urban areas a l s o re a r c h i c ke n i n t h e backyard. In this system of rearing, the birds are fed with kitchen waste and food residues. They scavenge and eat termites, ants, earthworm and insects. During the dry seasons the birds are provided with rice bran or wheat bran

mixed with rice starch and other vegetables. The eggs are laid within the boundary and birds are safer from predators than those that are out in range. These birds are provided with shelter that protects them from predators and from inclement weather. If the farmers are close to the c i t y, t h e b i r d s a r e e v e n provided with a balanced feed along with the scavenging material. During dry seasons, the birds are hand fed provided with feed or grain bye products. Semi intensive system

In the semi intensive system of rearing, the birds are allowed to move around during the day time and they are kept conﬁned during the night time. This system is followed where the space for rearing is less; the birds are reared at 10 to 20 square meters per bird of

Poultry Vision | Year 01 | Issue 01 | September - 2020

Free range or scavenging system Free range system is the scavenging system of rearing poultry in which the birds are allowed to move freely instead of being conﬁned in a place. Birds under scavenging conditions feed on grains like maize, jowar and millets to meet their energy requirement and depend on grains offered by ﬂock holders in early part of

the day. In addition the birds scavenge to prey on insects, worms, larvae, snails, termites, maggots etc to satisfy the protein, vitamin and mineral needs. But the diversity in climate can inﬂuence the feeding pattern in different geographical locations. These free range chickens must have access to open air daily. These chickens are given continuous access to an outdoor range during daytime and at night time they can be conﬁned in a temporar y shelter. In India many of the bird's shelter is on trees. Only the birds with young chicks are given some shelter and provided cover using bamboo basket. These free range chickens grow more slowly than intensive chickens. Here the poultry are raised on pastures; enabling the birds to move around, forage for their natural food. The manure from these free range birds can be used in crops as a fertilizer. These birds grow slower and have opportunities for

exercise. Though less growth rate is seen, the chances for natural behaviour such as pecking, foraging exercise outdoors as well as fresh air and daylight are beneﬁt to these scavenging birds. Free range chickens have better leg and heart health and much higher quality of life. Excess heat, cold or damp can have harmful effect on birds and their productivity. Diseases are common and the animals are vulnerable to predators. A ﬂock of 15 chickens produce 1.0 to 1.2 kg manure per day. These aspects contribute to village economy. Conclusion The rural system of rearing poultry provides supplementary income to household women with less input by the householders. In these systems management is less with more productivity. The birds reared in this system are more disease resistant compared to others provided protection of birds from scavengers.

outside run. The space can be divided giving a run on either side of the house of 5 to 10 square meters. The system is used more in ducks and turkeys. The ﬂoor in the run can be cemented with litter or it could just be a sand ﬂoor. The run is fenced by using wire, bamboo are any other local material. The birds are moved to the pen during the night and protected. During day time the bird are let out in to the run area and kept there till evening. The pen and run areas should be cleaned regularly once the birds are let out of them. Under semi intensive system of rearing poultry, the birds are provided with feed and clean potable water. Inside the pen area, the feed could be a well balanced mash or pellet, or it could be of household waste, vegetable waste mixed with some cheap grains and by products of grains.

Introduction

Temperature

H e a t s t re s s i s a n o n - s p e c i ﬁ c physiological response of the body when exposed to high ambient temperatures, which can break the balance of body redox and result in oxidative stress that affects growth performance as well as the health of animals (Ruizhi Hu et al., 2019).Heat stress may also be deﬁned as h y p e r t h e r m i a ( e l e va t e d b o d y temperature) in which, the physiological systems of the body fail to regulate the body temperature within a normal range.

The thermoneutral zone is the range of environmental temperatures that an organism can maintain their body temperature. For most poultry, the thermoneutral zone is between 60 and 75 F. T h i s z o n e re p re s e n t s t h e temperature range where heat production is lowest.

Heat Stress in Poultry Birds are 'heat stressed' if they have difﬁculty achieving a balance between body heat production and body heat loss. This can occur at all ages and in all types of poultry. Heat stress occurs when the bird's core body temperature increases to fatal temperatures because of poor heat loss and limited coping means.

How is body heat produced? Heat is produced by metabolism within the body, which includes maintenance, growth and egg production. Heat production is affected by body weight, species and breed, level of production, level of feed intake, feed quality and, to a lesser extent, by the amount of activity and exercise. Identiﬁcation of Heat Stress in Birds One of the ﬁrst signs commonly noticed is a decrease in feed intake

paired with an increase in water intake. Birds that are heat stressed may spread their wings to increase air ﬂow and are often more sedentar y. Laying hens, egg production decreases along with egg quality parameters, such as egg shell thickness, egg weights and Haugh unit measurements. If the hens produce brown eggs, the shell color will become paler. Broilers show a decrease in body weight gain and feed conversion. Birds that have experienced heat stress have lower meat quality when processed, showing lower p e rc e n t p ro te i n a n d h i g h e r inclusion of fat in the breast muscle, as well as a decrease in overall breast muscle weight (Melesse et al., 2013) Signs of Heat Stress in Chickens Ÿ

Causes of Heat Stress

Lethargy

Decreased appetite, drop in egg production, reduced egg size, poor egg shell quality, reduced body weight, and increased cannibalism (Nardone et al., 2010; Dayyani and Bakhtiyari, 2013).

Heat exhaustion may be attributed to several etiologies occurring singly or in multifactorial forms. Environmental factors like:

Increase water consumption.

Lift their wings away from their bodies to reduce insulation and expose any areas of skin that have no feathers

Modes of Heat Loss in birds

High rainfall and subsequent rise in humidity leading to decreased sweating and breathing for heat dissipation.

Effect on reproduction : There is depreciation in reproductive performance of poultry in heat stress due to disturbance the thermore-gulatory mechanisms, might be modulated at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary (Saarela et al., 1977).

Effect on the immunological responses: At elevated temperature synthesis of T and B lymphocytes and suppression of phagocytic activity of blood leukocytes occurs Lower levels of total circulating antibodies and lower levels of speciﬁc IgM and IgG in broiler under heat stress were reported ( Nathan et al., (1976)

Extended period (> 5 days) having minimal air circulation

Approaches to alleviate heat stress poultry

Evaporation: This is very important at high temperatures as poultry do not sweat but depend on panting. Radiation: Body heat transferred to surrounding environment decreases with raised temperatures. At 40°C surrounding temperature it's almost zero heat loss. Conduction: Very little transfer of heat as contact surface is small. Convection: The bird will spread the wings and raise the feathers to get more air movements on the skin to increase convection.

leading to consistently harsh environment. Ÿ

Warm cloudy nights might also increase the risk of heat stroke as the animals dissipate the heat energy during night.

Consequences of Heat stress in poultry Ÿ

Effect on poultry production: Exposure to radiation leads to depression of chemical composition and meat quality in broilers industry. Exposure of high temperature during the growing phase of broilers has

The following approaches might be helpful in preventing heat stroke cases in dair y, meat, working, pets and zoo animals: Ÿ

Ventilation System: Good ventilation system is essential for heat stress management. During hot weather, adequate air speeds must be accomplished through the use of fans and tunnel ventilation. Ensure the plenty of fresh, clean water. Place water in a shady area to prevent evaporative loss.

Nutritional management: Decrease in feed intake and increase water intake of poultry under hot climate to control the body temperature. Supplementation of minerals in form of electrolytes like ammonium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride in drinking water of poultry are beneﬁcial effect under heat stress condition Supplementation of vitamins and antioxidants: Birds need to be provided with adequate a m o u n t s of a n t i ox i d a n t s , vitamins and trace minerals regardless of stress status. Protection from the sun: Shade, mister s, and even wading pools are a welcome relief from the heat.

Conclusion It has been observed that heat stress immensely affects the commercial poultry production through reduced feed intake and high mortalities. The

O ve r a l l , modern-day chickens are more susceptible to heat stress than their jungle fowl ancestors. Genetic selection and housing have drastically changed the way birds are raised and managed. Therefore, measures need to be taken to ensure that they are provided with adequate heat abatement practices, such as effective ventilation and air ﬂow, immune supportive therapies and proper nutrition.

Dr. Manisha Singodia¹, Dr. Devi Singh Rajput¹, Dr. Neeraj Kumar Sharma¹ and Dr. Lokesh Tak² ¹Department of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Extension Education ²Department of Livestock Products and Technology Introduction A serious threat to intensive animal production is that the unwanted and often-unwarranted attention focused on possible lack of care of individual animals within an oversized farm. Par ticipation by industr y in an approved audit process can serve to realize several beneﬁts. It provides documented evidence of top quality animal care by identif ying and monitoring equipment, animal and personnel issues related to with quality animal care. If thoroughly utilized at the farm level, the audit process is probably going to lead to an improvement in husbandry practices. The implementation of audit documentation is additionally likely to lead to improved production thanks to the demonstrated link between welfare and production, as has been demonstrated in a very previous project. Quality Assurance programs within industr y currently focus predominantly on animal health and food safety and there is a necessity, coinciding with a more informed and demanding customer base, to expand these programs to incorporate animal welfare issues so industry remains sustainable into the following century. Similarly, there will be a necessity within the future to incorporate environmental audits into Quality Assurance programs. An outsized n number of the problems that breeders target on daily, including animal health, production and food safety, also relate to animal welfare, although this information was not previously formalized within one document. Broiler companies already provide considerable information on maintaining high levels of animal welfare and producers, in their daily

tasks, already largely implement this information. Audit of Different Accounts Ÿ

Once the audit starts, the auditor will conﬁrm the scope of the audit and provide a brief description of how it will proceed. For on-farm audits, the auditor will review the farm records, discuss the implementation with you and tour the farm to assess compliance with the program.

Before ﬁnishing the audit, the auditor will complete a report. This report will list any corrective actions with completion dates that are agreed on by you and the auditor. You will get a copy of the report.

If must to work on corrective actions, the auditor will founded a time with you for a follow-up audit. When the follow-up audit is completed, a report will be issued and you will be asked to sign a declaration indicating you will keep implementing the programs.

The auditor then provides his/her recommendations and reports to the certiﬁcation agent.

Audit Procedure Before undergoing an on-farm audit, should complete the pre-audit checklists for both programs to assess how prepared for a true audit. Make sure can answer each question. Ÿ

During an on-farm audit, auditors will follow strict bio security guidelines to stop contamination. Auditors must take preventive measures to make sure that they are doing not present a bio security risk to farm by parking in a ver y designated area, preventing crosscontamination, wearing clean coveralls and boots, getting rid of the clothing and footwear in an suitable location, and by following any additional bio security measures. Normally, when an audit are going to be occurring, and also the date are going to be determined s u p p o r te d t h e a u d i to r s a n d availability; however, the CFO (Chief Financial Ofﬁcer) reserves the correct to work supported on their rules and regulations, which suggests farm might be selected for a random audit.

Internal and External Audit Program The internal audit should be viewed as an opportunity to improve, not just another nuisance to endure. The internal audit should be an unbiased assessment. The internal audit should

Animal-based measures are direct indicator s of animal welfare examined through observation of individuals, which include such measurements as feather condition, feet condition and behaviour. Resource-based measures assess the environment and facilities and include such measurements as feeder and drinker space, litter quality and stocking density. Protocol-based measures evaluate current policies and protocols that are in place on the farm. This i n c l u d e s re v i e w i n g s t a n d a rd operating procedures outlined emergency and euthanasia protocols and mortality and culling records.

It is also important to stay in mind that audit are only a snapshot in time. This implies that auditors might not be ready to view every aspect of farm and cannot be able to know what happens on farm for the other 364 days of the year. Auditors and audits are often limited to evaluating a subpopulation of the farm and should not observe all individuals or houses but auditors are ready to gain a clear picture of the farm, as they will select a representative sub-population of the flock to assess. Although utilizing subpopulations is typical for an external audit to save time, it is recommended that all self-assessments evaluate the entire flock, as this will help you understand if flock is meeting the requirements. This proactive approach to improving bird welfare ahead of time by making decisions based on the results of selfassessment (e.g. moving animals to the sick pen, adjusting environmental conditions to decrease feather pecking) may also minimize chances of experiencing a non-compliance. Lastly, protocol-based measures are a section require particular attention and foresight before an auditor arrives. Standards that require documentation and operating procedures to be evaluated commonly result in nonconformances. However, this will be avoided with full comprehension of those standards and diligent preparation. Non-conformances related based measures can often be avoided by confirming that every one specifications associated to documentation are satisfied per the standards set forth by the audit. Unfortunately, these details are commonly overlooked when preparing for an audit. For example, under the Humane Farm Animal Care Animal Care Standards for egg laying hens, causes of mortality and culling must be documented. Overall, audits enable producers, processors, retailers and consumers to figure together towards improving

animal welfare and these programs demonstrate an overall commitment by the poultry industry to the present mission. Ÿ

Different requirements of the various inspection bodies. Some audits take half an hour, others take two or three, not counting the hours of preparation required. However, with the correct support, good paperwork and stockman ship, a producer can maintain a grade of 'audit ﬁtness' that may save time and minimise disruption.

We think about audits as paperwork checks, but every aspect of a poultry farmer's business will come under scrutiny from a range of different auditing bodies, each with their own focus: from trading standards to bird welfare.

Readiness requires accurate and up-todate record-keeping in many areas, from pest control to staff training. New rules were brought in last year to make sure permanent audit readiness by layer farms, including annual audits, with a minimum being unannounced.

They also will audit Salmonella control, feed and water quality, vet care and drugs so your daily checks must be up to date and your records accessible.

Conclusion Poultry auditing programs in are intended to assure consumers that the animals their food comes from are raised humanely. The standards that poultry producers who participate in such voluntary programs are held to are written and/or reviewed by scientific committees affiliated with national producer organizations, retail companies and non-profit organizations. These details are commonly overlooked when preparing for an audit. Under the Standards for laying hens, causes of mortality and culling must be documented.

A c c o rd i n g t o re p o r t i n g f ro m Bloomberg News and the Deccan Herald, farm gate chicken prices have slumped by as much as 70 percent in March compared to January prices. Poultry farmer and Chairman of the International Egg Commission Suresh Chitturi explained that the drop forced many farmers to cull their ﬂocks, causing huge losses. Though prices have recovered, banks aren’t willing to lend to farmers. Chitturi estimates that farmers need $2.7 billion in loans. Bank ﬁnancing forms a critical component of India’s poultry industry, which is worth an estimated $14 billion. He warns that the industry won’t survive without the funding. Many farmers are at risk of defaulting on their existing loans which are worth approximately $3.3 billion. We were beaten by [social media] rumors which almost killed the poultry business.” Chitturi says. We don’t want any freebie,” says Chitturi, “we just need the cash to expand and we will pay back the money. We have seen an increase in demand recently and prices are also good because of a shortage in supplies. husband sells vegetables for a living.

India’s largest poultry conglomerate, Suguna Foods announced that it has ramped up the production of vitamin-D enriched eggs, the first of its kind in the country, as part of its relentless commitment to support the public health response and protect their well-being. Available across the company’s flagship Suguna Daily Fresh outlets and other supermarkets, these super specialty eggs provide 82 percent of the daily value of vitamin-D in a single egg which is a critical component in the current health crisis due to COVID19. Since March, Suguna Foods has significantly increased production of vitamin-D enriched eggs across the country. With a strong R&D team that focuses on nutrition, Suguna produces clear and nutritious vitamin-D eggs which are the most inexpensive and the healthiest protein source that helps maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle for people of all age groups and health conditions. Commenting on the development, Mr. Vignesh Sundararajan, Executive Director, Suguna Foods Pvt Ltd, said: Since the outbreak began, we have worked relentlessly with a commitment to continue delivering products of the highest quality to help improve the immune system which remains critical in this crisis.

In India, tribal communities have been involved in rearing backyard poultry since time immemorial – long before the government and development agencies counted it as a form of livelihood and a key component of food-security policy. It's a ubiquitous activity among tribal families living in India's rural and forested areas, who will typically be rearing a dozen or so of chickens in their backyards. The birds will usually be a native breed, and, while most of them are for family consumption and festive occasions, households will also sell a few of them to outsiders. Chicken is part of many cultural events and rituals among tribal communities. As is the case in so many other parts of the country, this is the practice in the Kondh tribal community of Odisha – concentrated mostly in the district of Kandhamal and par tly in Kalahandi and Rayagada districts. Consumption of chicken meat and eggs in the Kondh community, however, is inﬂuenced by taboos and stigma.

Today, a delegation led by Bahadur Ali, chairman, All India Poultry Breeders Association also called on the vice president of India, M Venkaiah Naidu, and apprised him of the problems faced by the poultry sector due to the widespread fear among the people. The association also informed the vice-president that false news about the threat to the poultry industry was creating panic among the people and resulted in a massive reduction in the consumption of poultry products. Quoting American biologist, Dr Bruce Lipton, the vice president said the fear of Corona virus was more deadly than the virus itself and said that all forms of rumor-mongering must stop, according to a separate press statement. The vice president had

to fulfill the consumption and cultural needs of her family. But the social norms of her community don't allow her to consume either chicken meat or egg. Often female villagers in Kandhamal and other parts of the region are rearing small numbers of chicken to feed their families and fulfill their cultural needs, but they are prohibited from eating the birds themselves. Their communities' customs don't allow some women to eat either chicken meat or eggs. It’s a taboo! Post puberty girls and women of reproductive age, below 50, don’t consume chicken meat and eggs. In fact, they are barred by community norms,” says Nrupati Majhi, 45, of Kanakpur village in Kalahandi district. “We do not know why such restriction is there. According to Diksha, a behaviorchange communication specialist with the Odisha chapter of Care India, the reasons for such gender-based poultry proscriptions have often been forgotten and are “unknown to anyone in the community. It very much looks unscientific and discriminatory,” she says. As part of a project promoting nutrition-focused agriculture with a food-systems approach, Diksha has b e e n w o r k i n g w i t h t h e t r i ba l community for four years. It grossly deprives adolescent girls and women from their basic right to easily available food and nutrition,” she says, “as rearing chicken birds is common to every tribal family. And, the most important point is that girls and women of these age groups are prohibited to consume chicken meat and eggs when they really need nutritional intake for better reproductive health.

In its written evidence to the EFRA select committee’s recent enquiry on public procurement, the British Poultry Council has said, “The UK needs a public procurement policy in place that prioritises British, to ensure access to safe, wholesome and nutritious food for UK citizens. Providing grown to world-class British standards in schools, hospitals and prisons reinforces the need for access to good food grown to good standards for ever yone in the country. Government must make a concerted effort to buy food from those in this country who invest in meeting those standards.” “It must promote British food and give public procurers the support to source it as their ﬁrst choice. Public procurement will never sustain the British food industry on its own, but buying British sends out a message; not only to our producers, retailers, and consumers, but also to other nations, that we believe in and back our standards, our food, and our businesses.”

I opted to shallow fry, which takes slightly longer to evenly brown the sides than deep fry.Wait till the oil gets heated. Now dip each prepared egg in the prepared batter. Using a spoon, transfer this to the kadai. Let the bajji get cooked well, ip both sides till its lightly browned. You can add as many as the space of kadai permits in one batch. Don't over crowd the wok/kadai. Repeat the same steps till you nish making all. Serve warm with tomato ketchup or any spicy chutney.
