flies (Glossina palpalis gambiensis) from a prime area for intensifying livestock
production – the coastal region of Niayes. The project is intended to remove the
constraint of trypanosomosis and allow the ecological intensification of cattle
production.
A cross-sectional analysis of ten case studies was the inductive phase of an
assessment to gauge the impact of removing trypanosomosis on livestock
production strategies. The methodology used was comprehensive analysis,
with participatory epidemiology tools to understand farmers’ rationales. The
authors analysed the strategies of three main types of livestock producer (agropastoralists,
mixed crop/livestock farmers and intensive dairy farmers). The
strategies were in line with the farmers’ goals and their ability to mobilise the
socio-technical network.
The risk management of trypanosomosis has been incorporated into livestock
management practices through the use of trypanotolerant breeds, medical
prophylaxis or placing livestock in low-risk areas. Removing the risk of disease
would therefore have a major impact on decisions about the composition and
strategic direction of herds. This change in the animal health environment would
steer livestock production along different routes of intensification in a highly
competitive environment.
The indicators of innovation capacity revealed by this study will be used to
quantitatively monitor various change scenarios, taking livestock producers’
reasoning into account, in order to assess the socio-economic impact of
eradicating the tsetse fly population in this area. The methodology presented in
the study can be used to understand the impact of controlling other vector-borne
infections on the innovation dynamics of livestock producers. |
