Zimbabwe Warns Against ARVs In Chicken

Farmers believe the drugs protect their stock from diseases and act as growth stimulants. The Southern Africa Accountability Journalism Project (SA AJP) interviewed two people operating on the frontlines of broiler chicken farming in the Harare area, both of whom illuminated the practice.
