Bird flu was confirmed as the cause of mass chicken deaths at poultry farms in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu. Health officials culled about 34,000 broiler chickens from five farms in one day, with a further 12,860 birds culled the following day.
Retail chicken prices in neighbouring Delta districts remained around Rs 250 per kg.
Culling removes broiler supply from a regional market, which supports chicken prices, though the effect is local and small at national scale. Continued outbreaks could tighten poultry feed demand in the area.
