What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Kenyan poultry farmers are urging the Government of Kenya to block imports of day-old layer chicks from countries affected by avian influenza. They questioned plans to import chicks from high-risk countries, including South Africa, and warned that an outbreak could lead to heavy losses and higher egg prices. Farmers also accused De Heus of encouraging producers to register and place orders for these chicks.
