Development of a geo-informatics database of abattoirs in Ibadan, Nigeria for epizootiological surveillance
(National Veterinary Research Institute, Nigeria, 2005) Onyeka, L.; Ogundipe, G. A. T.; Babalobi, O. O.
Animal diseases and health problems transcend local and international kudus. requiring attention to geographical, spatial and temporal considerations before effective prevention and control could be implemented. The application of geo-information technologies has been on for decades to facilitate diseases reporting, monitoring, surveillance, prediction and intervention (prevention/treatment/control) programmes. Low stock of livestock base data is one of the challenges/limitation to the adoption/application of modern geographic information technologies in the control of epizootics m Africa, including Nigeria. Abattoris are typical foci for epizootiological studies of animal diseases, including zoonotic disease of public health importance. This paper highlights the use of Geographical Inhumation Systems and Global Positioning System technologies lot the establishment of a spatial baseline geographical data of some abattoirs in Ibadan, one of Africa’s largest cities. Such a baseline data could form a basis for the running of an effective veterinary inhumation system for disease diagnosis, monitoring and surveillance
Evaluation of the extension activities of the National Livestock Projects Division Kontagora, Nigeria
(Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association, 2003) Ogundipe, G. A. T.; Babalobi, O. O.; Annatte, I. A.
An evaluation study of five commodity-based livestock extension models of the Kontagora district officer of the National Livestock Project Division (NLPD) under Nigeria’s Second Livestock Development Plan (NLDP) was carried out between 1992 and 1996. The adoption rates for the models were 27.8% for the Small Holder Cattle Fattening Scheme (SHCFS). 16.3% for the poultry model and 14% for the piggery model. All the adopters of the SHCFS received virtually all their inputs at subsidised rates through the NI, PD. In contrast, virtually no extension service or inputs were provided to the poultry and pincers models, hence the lower adoption rates, despite strong evidences of socio-economic relevance. The correction of the extension delivery detects indicated, and a major policy reorientation towards the development of poultry and pigs hand-in-hand with cattle to alleviate Nigeria’s animal protein deficit, are recommended.
