Tamil Nadu Poultry Traders Announce Chicken Sale Suspension from July 31 Over Feed Practices
The Tamil Nadu Poultry Traders Federation announced an indefinite suspension of chicken sales across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry starting July 31. The strike protests poultry producers' failure to follow government feed-control regulations, which require withholding feed 12 to 15 hours before dispatch to prevent undigested feed in chickens. Traders claim this practice causes hygiene issues and financial losses, urging government intervention. Puducherry traders support the strike, which is expected to disrupt supply to consumers and restaurants.
