Smallholder dairy production in Kenya is an important agricultural activity that offers high potential returns contributing to income and employment generation, enhanced food security and improved livelihoods. However, productivity is well below genetic potential and continues to decline. One of ...


Ndung'u, L.W.Randolph, Thomas F.Coetzee, G.Krecek, R.C.Perry, Brian D.[An economic assessment of current delivery pathways for the control of tick-borne diseases in Kenya]An economic assessment of current delivery pathways for the control of tick-borne diseases in Kenya

Animal diseases cause significant economic losses to the livestock sub-sector in sub Saharan Africa (SSA). To minimize these losses, SSA governments have allocated over 70% of total livestock services budgets to disease control and other animal health services. Declining state budgets, however, ...


Tambi, N.E.Maina, W.O.Randolph, Thomas F.[An analysis of the impact of public animal health expenditures on the performance of the livestock sub-sector in Kenya]An analysis of the impact of public animal health expenditures on the performance of the livestock sub-sector in Kenya

Ticks and tickborne diseases (TTBD) are serious animal health constraints in Uganda and acaricides are the current method of choice for their control. Although widely used, the external-input, single-technology paradigm of chemical control is unsustainable and may inhibit endemic stability. TTB...


Sakwa, P.D.Randolph, Thomas F.Opuda-Asibo, J.Otim, C.P.[Designing strategies for integrated control of ticks and tick-borne diseases at the farm level in a mixed crop-livestock system in Uganda]Designing strategies for integrated control of ticks and tick-borne diseases at the farm level in a mixed crop-livestock system in Uganda

Poster abstract]Determining the economic impact of FMD control and eradication: A series of case studies. Poster abstract

Heartwater is a tick-borne disease of cattle, sheep and goats and some wild ruminants prevalent in much of Africa and the Caribbean. It is caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium and transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. The disease has traditionally been controlled by the u...

Although it is widely recognized that non-monetary transaction costs influence the use of livestock health services by smallholder livestock keepers in developing countries, their identification and measurement has remained problematic. This study addresses this gap using a methodology commonly a...

East Coast Fever (ECF) is a major risk and constraint to the smallholder dairy sector in Kenya. The effects of ECF can be largely controlled by the use of acaricides, animal husbandry measures, and potentially through immunisation. In Kenya, some smallholder dairy farmers apply one or more of the...


Leneman, J.M.McDermott, John J.Okuthe, O.S.Randolph, Thomas F.[Farmers' perceptions of East Coast fever risk and adoption of control strategies in Kenya]Farmers' perceptions of East Coast fever risk and adoption of control strategies in Kenya

Animal diseases have a major impact on crop-livestock systems in West Africa. The productivity of all crop-livestock systems is limited both by the direct effects of overt disease and by strategies that are adopted to mitigate disease risk. Epidemic diseases require substantial expenditures to li...


McDermott, John J.Richard, D.Randolph, Thomas F.[Incidence of animal diseases and their current and future impacts on crop-livestock systems in West africa]Incidence of animal diseases and their current and future impacts on crop-livestock systems in West africa

With the continuing globalization of trade and the evolving regulatory environment under the World Trade Organization, there has been renewed interest in many developing countries to review disease control policies that may affect their trade in livestock and livestock products. In particular, a ...
