Agri Hour: 14 September, Dr Berry Mutowembwa

We’ve entered spring and will soon be entering the summer season. With these warmer conditions, farmers have to be on the lookout for some pests and diseases that might cause illnesses in livestock animals. According to Dr Berry Mutowembwa, a Veterinarian at the Agricultural Research Council, one of these diseases that farmers should be on the lookout, for now, is pink eye which is caused by domestic flies. He says if humans are not careful when handling an animal with pink eye, they too might get infected.
