Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development Minister J. Chinchurani has said the government will introduce a legislation to assess the quality of livestock feed and prevent their adulteration.
Low-quality feed being brought by private distributors from outside the State had been harming cattle and had contributed to an increase in diseases, Ms. Chinchurani alleged, while inaugurating a seminar series organised by Kerala Feeds Limited (KLF) on ‘Cattle feed: Quality, Price and Availability’ here on Tuesday.
Accusing private competitors in the sector of spreading canards about the cattle feeds manufactured by KFL and Milma among the farming community, she said the government-backed agencies upheld high quality in their products by utilising the best available raw materials.
