The avian flu concern has caused a decline in Hyderabad's chicken prices. In only one week, they fell more than 14 percent. In light of the instances found in Andhra Pradesh's districts, the government is also implementing several preventative measures.
In Hyderabad, chicken costs about Rs 100.
The cost of live chicken dropped from Rs 120 per kg to Rs 103 per kg after Andhra Pradesh's avian flu cases were discovered.
Prices often increase in the summer and during the wedding season. However, the price has crashed as a result of the worry.
Chicken is removed from menus during weddings.
Chicken began to disappear from Hyderabadi wedding menus due to the danger of bird flu, which caused prices to further decline.
Despite rising costs, some are abruptly altering their wedding meals.
Mohammed Hafeez, a Hyderabad-based caterer, told india Herald that people's tastes are changing as a result of bird flu fears.
How long the city's chicken costs will continue to decline is still up in the air.
No new instances have been detected in the last two days, according to State Animal Husbandry Department Dr. Damodhar Naidu. Officials are hopeful that the situation is stabilizing since increasing temperatures are predicted to slow the spread of the virus.
According to him, six contaminated farms in Velpuru (West Godavari), Kanuru Agraharam (East Godavari), Badampudi (Eluru), and Gampalagudem (Krishna district) had completely culled their chickens. Additionally, ducks from a kurnool farm that was afflicted were killed.
