African trypanosomiasis resistance in cattle by a transgenic approachILRI
We propose a new strategy for creating resistance in cattle to African trypanosomiasis, a major disease that affects agricultural production in broad regions of Africa. The long-term aim is to generate genetically modified cattle, which carry a gene that imparts resistance to African trypanosomes. The gene, APOL1, encodes the key trypanolytic component of Baboon’s protective Trypanosome Lytic Factor (TLF) against both cattle and human-infective trypanosomes. TLFs are only found in humans, gorillas, sooty mangabys, mandrills and baboons and govern resistance to different African trypanosome species.

Role of agricultural biotechnologies in addressing food and nutrition security challenges in Africa: Perspectives from the Agricultural Research Council, South Africa
May 2020 presentation about BioWorma, the fungus that traps and kills worm larvae in manure of livestock. Webinar presentation by Chris Lawlor from International Animal Health.
The purpose of the study was to know the conduct of pig farms, the state of cysticercosis and its consequences on the quality of production of pigs in N'Djamena, Chad. Three methods were used: (i) the transverse and retrospective survey for information related to the conduct and hygiene in 64 farms sampled in eight blocks belonging to three districts, (ii) the langueyage to observe cysts and (iii ) documentary investigation for total seizures in the slaughter house over six years. All farms had barns which were considered in good condition (66%). However, most of the farms (91%) did not practice permanent confinement. The majority (81%) accounted for two per day of food distributions to pigs against three for the minority (19%). According to 64% of the farmers, 50% of citizens of their respective square have latrines. Of 861 pigs identified, 20% were examined and 9.7% were carriers of cysts. Carcasses at slaughter percentage seizures ranged from 2.5% to 5% depending on the year; an average of about 4% over six years. The prevalence of infestations remained generally lower than those observed in some cities of northern Cameroon. Losses were estimated to average 5,31,900 FCFA / year. Knowledge and practice of screening techniques for this disease by producers would minimize economic losses, improvement of production quality and avoiding human contamination. Further investigation seems necessary to highlight the animal health status and quality of pork production in this area.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

rate that individual cow wears designed
• Initial field tests with SR showed a reduction in
disease incidence among cattle from 40% in Masai
Mara to 70% in Coastal areas of Kenya
• Drug use significantly reduced
Challenges
• Loss and leakage of dispensers (85%)
• Mixing of herds
9. Tsetse – identification of repellents from un-preferred hosts
• Waterbuck are present in tsetse habitats but not fed
upon
• Refractoriness is mediated by repellents
• 15 EAD active compounds were found in the waterbuck
odour
• Through series of field experiments 5 - component
blend was identified (icipe patent application)
• WRB reduces fly catches by 80% and
feeding efficiency >95%

acres per household with protected animals
• Number of farmers hiring oxen for ploughing
land reduced by 62%

improved
19. Impact on milk production
• Number of households reporting
lactating animals in the herd has
increased by 67% (103 to 172)
• The number of animals lactating
is 2x more in protected animals
compared to control
• The average milk production per
animal is 42.2% higher in the
protected animals compared to
the control
• cows are native
20. Potential for Adoption
• 99.5% of the respondents in all the
treatments, control and non
participating farmers are willing to
buy the repellent collars
• On average, farmers willing to pay
Kshs. 212/= (US $ 2.5) for collars
• Farmers wish the repellent dispenser
would last 4.8 months on average
• 67% farmers willing to change breed
of animals if collars are available
21. Dispensers - problems

About 75% dispensers are working at any given time
22. Cost of dispenser and repellent compounds per month
Dispensers: $1.50

Total costs: $4.33

Costs of technology
23. Way Forward
Tabanid fly Stomoxys calcitrans
camel trypanosomaisis (surra)
• Roll out novel tsetse repellent technology in African
countries
• Ensure manufacturing scale-up of the technology
through public-private- partnerships (non-metallic,
robust, low cost dispensers through p-p-p)
• Integrated use of the repellent technology with
other tsetse and disease control tactics to eliminate
the constraint of tsetse and trypanosomiasis
(T&T) in African countries
• Evaluate potential to control vectors of human
sleeping sickness.
• Evaluate repellents to protect safari vans and
tourists from tsetse attack in parks
• Develop repellent collars for camels and their
integration with other vector control tactics
