Originating in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China, and rapid spread to multiple countries, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has emerged as a novel public health emergence. During early February, spread of misinformation and rumors driven by the fear of linking chicken meat and eggs in the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among human population is witnessed in India. This resulted drastic reduction in consumption of poultry products with subsequent fall in demand thereby prices. The COVID-19-driven lockdown during March in the country has further accentuated the crippling poultry industry following the arrest of feed and healthcare essentials and destruction of eggs, chicks, and birds. Here, we have analyzed the impact of COVID-19 on the poultry industry and showed the realistic flow of events that resulted in its economic fallout by disruption of poultry protein chain during pandemic crisis. The projected loss caused because of these events for the Indian poultry industry is around USD 3053 million. The economic impact is not uniform across the country owing to regional differences in consumption pattern and percent non-vegetarians.
起源于中国湖北省武汉市，并迅速传播到多个国家，严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 已成为一种新的公共卫生突发事件。2 月初，在印度，由于担心与人类传播的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）有关联，鸡肉和鸡蛋在传播中的错误信息和谣言迅速传播。这导致家禽产品消费急剧下降，随后需求下降，价格也随之下降。由于饲料和保健必需品的供应被中断，鸡蛋、雏鸡和鸟类被销毁，3 月该国因 COVID-19 而实行的封锁措施进一步削弱了家禽业。在这里，我们分析了 COVID-19 对家禽业的影响，并展示了在大流行危机期间，由于家禽蛋白链的中断，导致其经济后果的现实事件流程。由于这些事件，印度家禽业预计损失约 3.053 亿美元。由于消费模式和非素食者比例在各地区存在差异，经济影响在全国并不均衡。
