With the sky expected to remain cloudy over the next three days, poultry farmers were asked to reduce protein in chicken feed.
A weather advisory bulletin from Agromet Field Unit of Veterinary College and Research Institute and Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, said that the prevailing temperature will pave way for increase in feed intake in the poultry.
This will increase the egg weight in adult birds, but will reduce egg shell quality. Hence poultry farmers are asked to reduce protein and ensure minimum Vitamin D in layer chicken feed.
Since farmers who have cultivated green gram and black gram as rain fed crops, can see mosaic diseases transmitted by white fly. Hence they are asked to spray monocrotophos or methyl demeton at the rate of 200ml for 100 litre an acre.
