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
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...

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 ...
