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.
Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli O157 contamination of beef and chicken in municipal abattoirs of Southwest Nigeria
(Marsland Press (East Lansing, Michigan), 2012) Olatoye, I. O.; Amosun, E. A.; Ogundipe, G. A. T.
Indiscriminate antibiotics usage in food animals and unhygienic meat processing could predispose meat consumers to risks of antibiotic resistant bacterial contamination and infection. This study investigated thè contamination of meat ffom cattle and chicken slaughtered for human consumption with E. coli 0157:H7 at thè metropolitan abattoirs and slaughtered slabs of selected poultry farms in Lagos and Ibadan, Nigeria. The aim was to compare thè prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattems across thè different locations and climatic seasons. The organism was isolated by cultural method using selective media and confirmed serologically using latex agglutination kits (OxoidR IJK). Antibiotic susceptibility to ten antimicrobial agents was performed by disc diffiision method using commercial Grana negative discs. Out of 800 meat samples collected, thè overall prevalence of 17.1% (comprising of 19.8% and 14.5% of beef and chicken respectively) was obtained. The prevalence of E. coli 0157:H7 in beef ffom Ibadan and Lagos were 28.5% and 11.0%, while those of chicken from Ibadan and Lagos markets were 13.0% and 14.0%, and ffom Ibadan and Lagos farms were 18.0% and 13.0% respectively. The prevalence of E. coli 0157 was significantly higher in beef compared to chicken (p<0.05), while during wet season, contamination of beef was also higher than in dry and significantly higher in beef from Ibadan than Lagos abattoir. All thè isolates were resistant to one or multiple antibiotics, but thè highest resistance of 91.1 % was to tetracycline and nine different resistance pattems were observed among thè isolates. Indiscriminate antibiotics usage in livestock predisposes meat consumers to risks of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli 0157:H7 in Southwest Nigeria. Regulatory control of antibiotics usage in livestock production, meat hygiene and pharmaco-epidemiological surveillance in food animals is hereby recommended to ensure consumer safety
