ILCA 1993/94: Annual report and programme highlights
This annual report and programme highlights presents highlights of ILCA's work in 1992 under the seven programme themes in the medium-term plan for 1994-1998. The highlight for the theme mixed crop-livestock systems focuses on ILCA's work on nutrient cycling in mixed crop-livestock systems in the...
Disease is one of the most important biological constraints to small ruminant production in the many different agroclimatic zones of Africa. Loss of production, high levels of mortality and the cost of drugs are some of the major concerns. Current control strategies include vaccination, medicatio...
Presents the Orma Boran field observations carried out under tsetse fly challenge on Galana ranch in Kenya since 1980. Their response to trypanosomiasis has been compared to that of the ranch bred Kenya (Galana) Boran. The mean monthly prevalence of trypanosomiasis observed in Orma steers over fi...

Trypanocidal treatments remain the most widespread method used for the control of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT). However increasing resistance affects the sustainability of this strategy. In general, resistance can be directly attributed to biological factors but it is recognized that insti...

Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing were used to identify villages at high risk for sleeping sickness, as defined by reported incidence. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) satellite data were classified to obtain a map of land cover, and the Normalised Difference Vegetatio...
