जानिए क्यों खास है ये मुर्गा, जिसके लिए भिड़ गए दो राज्य|MP-Chhattisgarh fighting for Kadaknath chicken

A protein-rich breed of chicken, popularly known as 'Kadaknath’, has virtually become a bone of contention between Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh states, with both staking claim over its nativity.The two neighbouring states have filed applications with the Geographical Indication registry office in Chennai to obtain the ‘GI tag’ for this blackwinged chicken variety.Locally called Kalimasi — the fowl with black flesh — the Kadaknath is considered a premium breed and its meat is priced three times more than that of broiler chicken. 'Kadaknath' is known for its high iron content and much lower cholesterol than other breeds, and sells at a much higher price than other varieties, say experts.According to Madhya Pradesh animal husbandry department’s additional deputy director Dr Bhagwan Manghnani the state is likely to get the GI nativity tag for the tan-blooded bird, which has its origin in the state’s Jhabua district. The Gramin Vikas Trust of Jhabua applied for the GI tag in 2012 on behalf of the tribal families involved in breeding it. The government-run hatcheries in Madhya Pradesh produce about 2.5 lakh chickens of the Kadaknath variety annually.
