(Featherless world)
Kolhapur is known to be a place which is fond of eating. That Red-White (tambada pandhara) or Charcharit Missaaal….oof.
But eating Gavaran kombadi always makes someone sick. Because those thousand and thirty three feathers (rough estimate) make the place a mess.
The disposal of chicken feathers, that are generated in huge quantities at poultry farms and at meat shops was always a big problem all around the world.
But now it will be an easy task with Kolhapuri Technology.
Keratin in feathers makes their degeneration difficult, lasting for five to seven years. The feathers cannot be incinerated also as a large quantity of sulphur is released.
Jyoti Jadhav and her research student, Ranjit Gurav from this city have identified a microorganism that disintegrates feathers within 30 hours. This microorganism turned out to be a new species and was named as ‘Chryseobacterium species Research Bio Technology.’ The feathers have to be placed in a liquid medium mixed with the microorganism. This is a simple method and the technology can be easily transferred to laymen. Also the liquid residue after the degradation is a much better bio-fertilizers (sounds like buy one get one free). Jadhav is honored with the Young Woman Scientist Award of the Biotech Research Society India. (Bravo.. )
Wa! Now we don’t have to be thinking about feather pollution while munching.
Only eating... Only eating…
No worrying…. No worrying….
