The third volume of this joint report was prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO/OAA) and the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA/CIPEA). The data contained in this report were collected in the various countries by Drs Shaw, Assogbakpe and Ly during consultative FAO missions and complemented by data provided by national research stations participating in the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network initiated by ILCA and staff liaising with the FAO Programme for the Control of African Animal Trypanosomiasis and for the development of the relevant zones.
Grateful acknowledgement is made to all concerned for their efficient collaboration, without which this document could not have been produced.
This volume is the continuation of volumes 1 and 2 of this study and to avoid confusing readers, it was unanimously decided that this volume should be published in both the FAO and ILCA series under the old method of numbering. This volume will therefore be published as FAO study: Animal Production and Health Paper 20/3 and ILCA Monograph 2, Volume 3.
This volume was written for the FAO by C H Hoste and E Chalon with the GCP/RAF/190/ITA regional project team for the upgrading, multiplication and conservation of trypanotolerant livestock in West Africa, and for ILCA by J C M Trail, C H Hoste and Y J Wissocq with the Animal Productivity and Trypanotolerant Team.
