A whole farm simulation model, Technology Impact Evaluation System (TIES), was used to assess ex-ante financial and economic impacts of immunization of dairy cattle against East Coast fever (ECF) by the infection and treatment method (ITM) on smallholder farms from two sites in Kenya. Four altern...

Economic impacts of East Coast fever immunization on smallholder farms, Kenya: A simulation analysis
This research investigated the feasibility of generating higher income and employment in Kenyan small-scale agriculture for alleviating rural poverty. It also assessed the possible conflict and trade-offs between increasing both income and employment. The probable impacts of efficient resource al...

A financial analysis was performed to assess the performance of three acaricide-treatment groups of indigenous breeds (Zebu and Nganda) of cattle on a ranch in Luwero District, Uganda. The treatments were based on different frequencies: twice-a-week dipping, once-a-month dipping and no tick contr...

The Murang'a District is situated in central Kenya and is a highland area with a high potential for dairy production. This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of smallholder dairy farms by analysing available data and by simulation modelling. Eighteen case farms were selected non-ra...

Cost analysis of immunization of East Coast fever by the infection and treatment method
East Coast fever (ECF) is a major constraint limiting livestock production in Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa. The infection and treatment method (ITM) has proven effective in research station and field trials. The work described in this paper was to quantify the economic payoffs to case st...

In this paper, empirical maximum likelihood (ML) and weighted least squares (WLS) estimates of socio-economic factors influencing the demand for private veterinary services in the high potential agricultural areas of Kenya are derived using probit analysis. While ML estimates explain 65 and 56 pe...
