Compound cattle feed is a crucial input for milk production and the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the cattle feed production into a crisis, it observed.
According to NDDB Chairman Dilip Rath, "Many cattle feed plants are facing problems of irregular supply of feed raw materials and packing ingredients. Reduced inter-state movement of trucks as well as labour shortages have also been reported."
