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 surveillanceenArticle
