Officials in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, are conducting intensive surveillance after more than 5,000 chickens died across six poultry farms. Authorities say avian influenza has been ruled out, and laboratory tests on feed, water and birds are pending to determine whether infection or weather-related moisture caused the deaths.
The losses are local and avian influenza is ruled out, so the effect on feed demand and prices is small. A confirmed disease outbreak would be a larger concern for regional poultry output and feed purchases.
