A pilot study of the economic impact of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in the countries and region of South-East Asia is described. Previous economic impact assessments are reviewed and summarised and a synthesis of these contributions is constructed. A framework for the future economic impact of t...

A study of the epidemiologic states of theileriosis in a range of smallholder dairy farms in Kenya
Past attempts to alleviate the problems of poor farmers engaged in mixed-crop-livestock production have generally focussed on the design and diffusion of new technologies targeted on specific components of the agroecosystem. Unfortunately, such piece-meal efforts have had little impact in the dev...

Market opportunities are increasing at a rapid pace for livestock products, fuelled by rising incomes, globalisation and urbanisation, particularly in the developing world. At the same time, these opportunities bring increased complexity in the supply channels that market, distribute, organise an...
A study that was carried out to identify calf variables that could be used to develop a simple linear regression equation for estimating body weight of calves in pastoral systems is described. The study which was carried out between November 2000 and March 2001 used 232 calves less than 10 months...
