LivestockPower cuts in Taltali: a Barguna poultry farm lost 190 chicks in one night when the brooder had no heat, with only 3 MW supplied against 5.5 MW demand
Farmer Rafiq Mia of Chhotabagi Bazar puts his loss at about Tk 13,300; sub-assistant livestock officer Sanjay Kumar Sikder says an examination of the chicks will settle the cause; the rural electricity society's Md Motahar Uddin advises farmers to keep a back-up heat source.
