In the letter to the Director-General of ICMR, Krishi Vigyan Kendra senior scientist and the head have claimed that Kadaknath (a rare breed of black chicken) based products-meat, eggs and soup, could provide necessary nutritional support for the recovery of post-COVID-19 patients.
"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. The Madhya Pradesh research centre has suggested: "Kadaknath meat, Kadaknath eggs and their extract (Rasayanam) prepared from Kadaknath meat for post-COVID-19 patient's diets."
