Trypanosomiasis is a major constraint to increased food production in Africa as it limits livestock production and mixed farming over an area of 10 million km2. The use of African trypanotolerant breeds of cattle is one approach to control trypanosomiasis that is being given increasing attention....

Profitability, efficiency and comparative advantage of African cattle meat and milk production: The case of trypanotolerant village cattle production
Trypanosomiasis, a disease transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a major constraint to livestock production and mixed farming in Africa. Due to the prevalence of trypanosomiasis and skin diseases in much of Zaire, it was concluded that cattle production was only feasible through the introduction of t...

Trypanosomiasis, a disease transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a major constraint to livestock production and mixed farming in Africa. This study examines the economics of the village production of trypanotolerant cattle recently introduced in an affected area of Togo that was previously virtually ...

The economics of recently introduced village cattle production in a tsetse affected area. (II): Trypanotolerant cattle in southern Togo
Cattle raised in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia are exposed to medium to high levels of trypanosomiasis risk and are often given trypanocidal drugs. A benefit-cost analysis was undertaken to evaluate the financial and economic returns generated by cattle raised in the area under a systema...
