In fact, the message comes on the mobile of a farmer doing poultry farming in Maharashtra, which claimed that eggs and chicken spread the corona virus. By the time this message spread across the country, the result was that eggs and chicken prices fell by 90 percent. In such a situation, due to a message going viral, lakhs of farmers now have problems in running a house.
According to Suresh Chitpuri, Vice President of All India Poultry Breeders Association, in an interview given to English website Live Mint, chicken prices in all parts of the country fell to Rs 5-10 in early March due to falling demand for eggs and chicken. In such a situation, farmers are incurring a loss of about Rs 160 crore daily.
Let us know that most of the corona cases in the country have been reported in Maharashtra and this message also went viral from Maharashtra itself. In such a situation, millions of people have stopped eating chicken and eggs due to fear of corona. The situation has become such that many farmers are selling five hens for 100 rupees. Even in a state like Punjab, chicken is now being sold for Rs 15 a kg.
Does corona really spread from chicken and egg?
Now the question is whether eating chicken and egg is really at risk of spreading the corona virus. Many reports have said that no such case has been reported so far in which it has been confirmed that eating chicken has spread corona virus. So there is no need to pay attention to rumors. On the other hand, Maharashtra Animal Husbandry Minister Sunil Kedar has said that action will be taken against those spreading such rumors.
