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...

Probit analysis of livestock producers' demand for private veterinary services in the high potential agricultural areas of Kenya
Heartwater, a disease of ruminants caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium and transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma, is a significant cause of productivity losses in cattle, sheep and goats in most of sub-Saharan Africa. In southern Africa, the vector of C. ruminantium is A. hebraeum....

A study of the effects of heartwater and its control on livestock productivity and economics in Zimbabwe
In order to assess the economic impact of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) and model the impact of improved vaccines against the disease, a field study was conducted to provide data on livestock productivity indicators in Zimbabwe. Cross-sectional studies were performed in the two main ...

Heartwater and the economics of livestock production on large scale commercial and smallholder farms in Zimbabwe
This paper first discusses the need to assess the economic impact of livestock diseases and their control. It then examines the conceptual framework for assessing the economic impact of diseases and their control. This is followed by a brief explanation of some of the economic concepts behind the...
