Poultry farms tighten biosecurity in Tamil Nadu 'Bird Flu'

Poultry farms across Namakkal district have strengthened biosecurity and sanitation measures following a statewide advisory issued by the Tamil Nadu government after cases of avian influenza and unusual bird deaths were reported in parts of the state.

Though no outbreak has been detected in Namakkal so far,



farmers and officials are taking proactive steps to safeguard the district’s poultry sector, one of India’s largest egg production and export hubs. 

Authorities said the heightened vigilance is aimed at preventing any possible entry of the highly contagious virus into the tightly managed farm ecosystem.
