Freeman, H.A.Minjauw, B.[Enhancing the role of livestock in poverty reduction strategies: analytical approaches and applications]Enhancing the role of livestock in poverty reduction strategies: analytical approaches and applications

An outbreak of East Coast fever (ECF) occurred in an experimental herd of Sanga cattle maintained under a traditional rangeland grazing system at Lutale, Central Province of Zambia. Two groups of cattle had been kept under different tick-control regimes for several years prior to the introduction...

Five different East Coast fever (ECF)-control strategies (involving ECF immunisation by the infection-and-treatment method) were tested in groups of traditionally managed Sanga cattle in the Central Province of Zambia over a period of 2.5 years. Two groups were under intensive tick control (weekl...


Minjauw, B.Rushton, JonathanJames, A.D.Upton, M.[Financial analysis of East Coast Fever control strategies in traditionally managed Sanga cattle in Central Province of Zambia]Financial analysis of East Coast Fever control strategies in traditionally managed Sanga cattle in Central Province of Zambia

A clinical trial, comparing East Coast fever (ECF) control strategies in 5 different groups of traditionally managed Sanga cattle (44-49 animals per herd), was conducted in Zambia over 2.5 years between 1992 and 1995. Two groups were kept under intensive tick control by weekly cypermethrin (Barri...


Minjauw, B.Otte, M.J.James, A.D.Castro, J.J. deSinyangwe, P.[Effect of different East Coast Fever control strategies on disease incidence in traditionally managed Sanga cattle in Central Province of Zambia]Effect of different East Coast Fever control strategies on disease incidence in traditionally managed Sanga cattle in Central Province of Zambia

The authors highlight the reliance on repeated natural infections by tickborne pathogens to maintain immunity in immunized herds. That incidence of clinical heartwater in cattle, caused by Cowdria ruminantium, is low while intensive acaricide use interrupts transmission of pathogens. Evidence is ...

This paper presents a proposal description. The proposal describes analytical work by the International Livestock Research Institute and its partners on livestock and poverty reduction. It also provides some insights into the practical and potential application of the results from livestock and p...

Currently over 1000 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) on integrated pest management (IPM) and/or integrated soil management are being successfully implemented in Kenya and many more in Africa as a whole. In 2001, the DFID/FAO project on Farmer Field Schools for livestock began adapting and testing the F...
