Bhopal: A veterinary university in Madhya Pradesh has developed a new breed of disease resistant chicken which would soon be available at cheaper prices.
"Nanaji Deshmukh Veterinary Science University in Jabalpur district has developed the new breed of chicken christened 'Narmada Nidhi', varsity's Professor O P Shrivastava said.
"The new protein rich rooster carries genes of fowl breeds - Kadaknath and Jabalpur colour," he said.
Kadaknath is a local breed of chicken found in tribal dominated Jhabua and Alirajur districts of MP.
The 'Jabalpur colour' breed chicken is an improved breed of chicken developed by the university, he said.
The new 'Narmada Nidhi' breed of chicken is cheaper and rich in nutrition values and has been developed for the weaker section of society in rural areas, he said.
The bird can survive on the left overs in rural households. It is disease resistant and does not need vaccination against diseases as the foreign poultry fowls require, Shrivastava said.
