The Hatchery Bill would be passed into law by the eighth Parliament to effectively regulate and check operational standards in the poultry industry. Dr Geoffrey Akabua, Deputy Director of Veterinary Services Department (VSD) in-charge of Veterinary Public Health and Food Safety, announced this at a Farmer Field School (FFS) at Dormaa-Ahenkro in the Dormaa Central Municipality of the Bono Region. The programme, jointly organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), in collaboration with the Dormaa Poultry Farmers Association, was attended by more than 50 participants, including poultry farmers and other operators in the poultry value chain. Dr Akabua explained the Bill suffered some challenges and was withdrawn to be fine-tuned for its passage into law.
