&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Soaring temperatures, transport strike add to woes in the South&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyderabad/ Bengaluru: &lt;/em&gt;Summer is not a great season for the poultry industry. Oppressive heat, increase in feed costs and depleting groundwater levels tell on production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year&amp;rsquo;s drought in the southern States and transport strike have only added to the problems, resulting in a 20-25 per cent price drop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The overall cost of production has gone up by 10 per cent, making it difficult to maintain healthy profit margins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The drought is manifested in depletion of ground water. The bore wells are slowly drying up. As the summer progresses, it will be tough arranging water for the farms,&amp;rdquo; Dr Ranjit Reddy, President of the Telangana Poultry Breeders&amp;rsquo; Association President, told BusinessLine..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The strike by transporters is only adding to the woes. Poultry farms are finding it difficult to get feed, and send their eggs and broilers to the market, because of the transport strike. &amp;ldquo;For now, they are managing with the stocks in the farms nearby. If the strike lasts a few more days, it will be very tough for the farms,&amp;rdquo; said Reddy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The State produces 3 crore eggs a day and 4 crore kg of chicken a month. &amp;ldquo;We see a drop of 10 per cent in production in layers at the end of March. The mortality rate of birds, which is generally at 2 per cent, has gone up to 10 per cent,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The farm gate prices of eggs have to Rs. 2.65 from Rs. 3.25 a month ago, and that of broiler chicken to ?65 a kg from Rs. 85-88.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subba Raju, who is a leader of the National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC), said the farms are witnessing a loss of Rs. 5-7 a bird a month due to the increase in production costs. &lt;br /&gt;

Poultry farms are finding it difficult to get feed, and send their eggs and broilers to the market, because of the transport strike. &amp;ldquo;For now, they are managing with the stocks in the farms nearby.

&lt;em&gt;Soaring temperatures, transport strike add to woes in the South&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyderabad/ Bengaluru: &lt;/em&gt;Summer is not a great season for the poultry industry. Oppressive heat, increase in feed costs and depleting groundwater levels tell on production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year&amp;rsquo;s drought in the southern States and transport strike have only added to the problems, resulting in a 20-25 per cent price drop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The overall cost of production has gone up by 10 per cent, making it difficult to maintain healthy profit margins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The drought is manifested in depletion of ground water. The bore wells are slowly drying up. As the summer progresses, it will be tough arranging water for the farms,&amp;rdquo; Dr Ranjit Reddy, President of the Telangana Poultry Breeders&amp;rsquo; Association President, told BusinessLine..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The strike by transporters is only adding to the woes. Poultry farms are finding it difficult to get feed, and send their eggs and broilers to the market, because of the transport strike. &amp;ldquo;For now, they are managing with the stocks in the farms nearby. If the strike lasts a few more days, it will be very tough for the farms,&amp;rdquo; said Reddy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The State produces 3 crore eggs a day and 4 crore kg of chicken a month. &amp;ldquo;We see a drop of 10 per cent in production in layers at the end of March. The mortality rate of birds, which is generally at 2 per cent, has gone up to 10 per cent,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The farm gate prices of eggs have to Rs. 2.65 from Rs. 3.25 a month ago, and that of broiler chicken to ?65 a kg from Rs. 85-88.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subba Raju, who is a leader of the National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC), said the farms are witnessing a loss of Rs. 5-7 a bird a month due to the increase in production costs. &lt;br /&gt;

Hyderabad/ Bengaluru: </em>Summer is not a great season for the poultry industry. Oppressive heat, increase in feed costs and depleting groundwater levels tell on production.<br />
<br />
This year&rsquo;s drought in the southern States and transport strike have only added to the problems, resulting in a 20-25 per cent price drop.<br />
<br />
The overall cost of production has gone up by 10 per cent, making it difficult to maintain healthy profit margins.<br />

The bore wells are slowly drying up. As the summer progresses, it will be tough arranging water for the farms,” Dr Ranjit Reddy, President of the Telangana Poultry Breeders’ Association President, told BusinessLine..

Poultry farms are finding it difficult to get feed, and send their eggs and broilers to the market, because of the transport strike. “For now, they are managing with the stocks in the farms nearby. If the strike lasts a few more days, it will be very tough for the farms,” said Reddy. The State produces 3 crore eggs a day and 4 crore kg of chicken a month. “We see a drop of 10 per cent in production in layers at the end of March. The mortality rate of birds, which is generally at 2 per cent, has gone up to 10 per cent,” he said.
