Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Department of Animal Husbandry increased surveillance in Cuddalore following the death of over 5,000 chickens across six poultry farms in the district. Initial reports noted high mortality at one farm, where nearly 100% of the remaining chickens died. Intensive disease surveillance was subsequently implemented at 11 farms within a 11-km radius of the affected area. Samples from the farms were sent to laboratories in Namakkal and Chennai for testing.
