Bird flu has spread to 10 Indian states, forcing the culling of birds at more than three dozen large farms and the shutdown of hundreds of hatcheries. Industry estimates business losses of around 1,500 crore rupees, and consumption has dropped even in states without confirmed cases.
Culling and hatchery closures cut bird numbers and feed demand across India's poultry sector for months, which weighs on local feed grain and meal purchases. The fear-driven demand drop may persist even outside affected areas.
