If it is indeed permitted, Kadaknath chicken fans will be greatly rewarded. According to sources, the Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, has asked the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to prescribe the ‘Kadaknath’ treatment to patients recuperating from COVID-19 problems.
The Kendra’s senior scientist and leader allegedly stated in a letter to the Director-General of the ICMR that Kadaknath products—meat, eggs, and soup—could give required nutritional support for the recovery of post-COVID-19 patients.
The Kadaknath chicken is a rare black chicken breed.
“As we know that nutritional therapy appears as the first line of treatment for the post-COVID-19 patient and optimum intake of all nutrients, mainly those playing crucial roles in the immune system, should be given through diverse and well-balanced diet,” the letter dated July 8 read.
Kadaknath based products contain nutrients like Zinc, Iron Vitamin-C, essential amino acids, and other vitamins,’ which plays a pivotal role in disease susceptibility and maintenance of immune function, Krishi Vigyan Kendra also said.
