Imphal, April 08 2020:
All efforts are being taken up to provide feeds for livestock and poultry, said Veterinary and Animal Husbandry, Director, Dr Haobijam Chaoba today.
Acknowledging that the poultry and other livestock farmers in the State are facing immense hardship due to unavailability of feeds owing to the complete lockdown due to coronavirus, the Director said the Department is taking up measures to address the issue at the earliest.
Even though the State has some private firms that produce feeds, they are not able to meet the demand, he said.

"Even as the Centre has advised to exclude transport of poultry feeds from the ambit of the lockdown, there has been some problem in effecting this advisory in the State," he said.
Meanwhile, the Central Dairy Plant at Porompat is putting in all efforts to produce and supply pasteurised milk at milk booths, but the plant is facing some problem, he said adding the staff of the Department are working on roster basis.
With many farmers being forced to sell poultry at deflated rate due to unavailability of feeds during the lockdown, they are incurring huge losses.
Milk and meat are essential dietary requirements that help boost the body immune system, the Director said adding his Department is discussing ways to supply feeds at ease to the farmers.
