ArticleJournal articleMapping the benefit-cost ratios of interventions against bovine trypanosomosis in Eastern Africa 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This study builds upon earlier work mapping the potential benefits from bovine trypanosomosis control and analysing the costs of different approaches. Updated costs were derived for five intervention techniques: trypanocides, targets, insecticide-treated cattle, aerial spraying and the release of sterile males. Two strategies were considered: continuous control and elimination. For mapping the costs, cattle densities, environmental constraints, and the presence of savannah or riverine tsetse spe cies were taken into account. These were combined with maps of potential benefits to produce maps of benefit-cost ratios. Author’s Accepted Manuscript, published with permission. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyImproved animal health for poverty reduction and sustainable livelihoods 2002
Also available in:
No results found.This manual is one of the outcomes of the 1996 World Food Summit resolutions on the need to achieve global food security. It examines the serious and worsening problems of animal diseases and veterinary health worldwide. Animal diseases are a major constraint to livestock production and safe utilization of animal products everywhere. They are devastating for poor livestock farmers and farming communities in developing countries. Improved animal health for poverty and sustainable livelihood exami nes practical ways of reducing poverty and creating sustainable livelihoods among rural populations in the developing world by improving the health of livestock. Demand for animal products is likely to increase dramatically in the next two decades, and producers will benefit from increased trade oopportunities. The extent to which producers in poor countries will share the benefits depends on the production levels they can achieve and on whether their products will be accpeted as tradable commod ities. These determining factors are inextricably linked to the health of their livestock. The manual looks at ways of improving national animal health policies and delivery systems through objective analysis of problems and training of personnel; the importance of raising public awareness is underlined. It stresses the need for global response strategies to support animal and public health issues and sustain national and local initiatives. An important element of the manual is that its lessons are drawn from extensive practical experience worldwide, particularly in developing countries. -
