Haze hits chicken farm in Satun
Play
Wassana Noodang, the owner of a chicken farm in Satun, has opted to prematurely sell chicken hens before the haze would totally ruin her business.
Her farm can house up to 70,000 hens. Normally, it takes five weeks before they can be sold.
Wassana said the hens consume less and become less active. Air ventilators and water sprinklers have failed to improve the situation.
She said premature sale means a 40 per cent loss, but if all the hens die, her loss would rise to 100 per cent.
She noted that the haze occurs too often and is beyond control. Artificial rain may help, she said.
