Malnutrition is a major problem in East Africa and animal source foods could provide
essential protein and micronutrients to help alleviate this. The livestock sector is rapidly
growing and intensifying in response to increased consumer demand for animal source
foods. However, the ability of the ...

Antibiotic resistance: mitigation opportunities in livestock sector development
Mycotoxin-producing fungi contaminate food and feeds before, during and after harvest.
Aflatoxins are important mycotoxins and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a class 1 human
carcinogen (definitely carcinogenic). Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a class 2B (possible)
human carcinogen. Aflatoxin B1 in feeds can decr...

Prevalence of aflatoxin in feeds and cow milk from five counties in Kenya
Populations in tropical and subtropical developing countries are exposed to largely
uncontrolled levels of aflatoxins through food. These countries (especially in Africa and
Asia) also present a high prevalence of stunting. Studies have reported an association
between aflatoxin exposure and growt...

This research reports a mapping of aflatoxin risk in the milk value chain in Kenya using
a geographic information systems (GIS) approach. The objective was to spatially locate
regions at risk by taking into account biophysical and socio-economic factors such as
humidity and rainfall, dairy cattle...

Mapping aflatoxin risk from milk consumption using biophysical and socio-economic data: A case study of Kenya
Background
Rapid urbanization has led to expansion of peri-urban fringes, where intensive, industry-style livestock rearing has led to emerging vulnerabilities at the human-animal-environment interface. This study was undertaken to understand the health system and farm-level factors that influenc...

Since the first reported outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 in Nigeria in 2006, there
have been approximately 300 reported cases as at the end of August 2008, of which more than half occurred
on backyard commercial farms. A case-control study was conducted in the two states...

In high-income countries, contamination of crops pre or post-harvest with mycotoxin-producing fungi cause substantial financial losses, with mega-tons of crops every year exceeding the allowed limits and therefore being disregarded as human and animal food. It is estimated that applying the US an...
