According to Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development Minister J Chinchu Rani, the Kerala government has struck an agreement with the Centre to utilize special trains to transport raw materials for creating cattle feed to the state.
“Our move comes ahead of the launch of microchips that store complete data on the health of cows under the E-Samridh programme, which we are starting on an experimental basis in Pathanamthitta,” Smt Chinchu Rani said at a function at the state-owned PSU’s headquarters near Irinjalakuda, where Higher Education Minister Dr. R. Bindu unveiled an updated version of the KFL (Kerala Feeds Ltd) website with details of the company’s latest products.
Minister Dr. Bindu, who presided over the occasion at KFL’s Kallettumkara headquarters, urged the company to start producing feed for pets and birds, adding that they are growing popularity across the state. She said, “The company can set up a state-of-the-art plant for this endeavor.”
“The new facilitation centre will assist in the prevention and treatment of diseases in the realm of animal husbandry, especially poultry,” said the minister, who is also a local legislator. “It can also encourage farmers to produce grass for livestock fodder.”
