Chicken and fish are very rich sources of protein which is necessary for the body. But in our country, poultry and fish feeds are made up of tannery wastes which contain a high amount of chromium. This chromium is stored in the body of chicken and fish. And when we eat these, we also absorb chromium resulting in various health problems such as skin rashes, troubled stomachs and ulcers, respiratory problems, weakened immune system, kidney and liver damage, alteration of genetic material, lung cancer and even death. Children are very vulnerable to this toxic element. So the government should take necessary steps to stop making poultry and fish feeds from tannery wastes.
