After years of dithering, the State government is finally contemplating establishing a duck research facility in Kuttanad, a project that is long overdue.
Duck farmers and experts have welcomed the proposal announced by Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in his policy address in the Kerala Assembly last week. It would be established by the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU).
The KVASU officials said that, if materialised, the facility would focus on interdisciplinary research with the aim of providing good quality ducklings to farmers.
