Every year, 2 billions of diarrhea cases occur for all age groups (WHO, 2010) and currently 700,000 children under five die from this illness (Walker et al., 2013). Animal-source foods provide nutrition but are a major cause of such food-borne diseases (FBDs). FBDs include other, non-diarrheal se...
Milk is an important source of nutrients in the diet. However, due to its nutritional
nature it also serves as an ideal medium for growth and development of various

Introduction
Millions of smallholder farmers, many of them women, supply the rapidly growing markets for livestock and fish products in Africa and Asia. In sub Saharan Africa, more than 80% of animal products are sold through informal markets, which lack structured sanitary inspection and are of...
