The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) at Thelliyur here has come out with a solution for people who find it difficult to rear poultry birds owing to space constraints. The Protected Enclosure for Free Ranging (PEFR) for rearing birds introduced by the KVK gives ample space for the birds. The 60 sq ft PEFR poultry coop could easily accommodate 20 to 30 birds. Another feature of the PEFR coop is its ventilation. “The cost of the PEFR coop comes around ₹25,000,” says Sency Mathew, animal science specialist at KVK.
