A suspected disease outbreak in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, has killed an estimated 40,000–50,000 chickens across several farms in six days, though district officials put the toll at about 26,000. Laboratory tests ruled out bird flu, and affected farmers face substantial financial losses after investing in birds, feed, and farm operations.
The poultry losses could reduce local chicken supply and support prices, while weaker flock numbers may also lower near-term feed demand. The scale and price impact remain uncertain because the cause of the deaths has not been confirmed.
