LivestockFeed prices in Dinajpur rise up to Tk 150 a sack in a week as maize goes from Tk 25 to Tk 37 a kg and bran from Tk 1,300 to Tk 1,800
The district's 34,540 livestock farms, 3,072 poultry farms and 42,124 fish farmers feel the squeeze; poultry farmer Mominul Islam is feeding 60 sacks a month instead of 70 and his broilers are not reaching weight, while dealer Arjun Prasad blames maize prices and the gas and power shortage.
