The sporadic outbreaks reported now can be attributed in part to the recurring movement of sheep and goats between these contiguous states. This study assessed the present level of economic burden and impact of vaccination on the local system (one state), considering the exposure from the external system (neighboring state) using a system dynamic (SD) model. The SD model relies on interdependence, interaction, information feedback, and circular causality and captures potential feedback between disease control interventions and their impact on various epidemiological and economic outcomes. The data for parameterization of the model were collected through surveys, expert elicitation, and literature review. The sporadic outbreaks reported in recent years (<10 outbreaks/year during 2022) were due to continuous “mass vaccination” for more than a decade. During 2021–2022, the PPR incidence was less in both the states, with an estimated loss of USD 26.30 and USD 22.86 million in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, respectively. The SD model results showed a systemic increase in flock size and offtakes and a decline in the number of infected and death cases under high vaccination coverage (75% and 100% coverage) compared to the low-coverage scenario. Hence, the coordinated inter-state vaccination efforts offer better prospects, as efforts in one state have positive externalities in terms of fewer outbreaks in a neighboring state.Item Addressing gendered constraints to women’s empowerment and restrictive gender norms: The case of engaging women and men in pig-related business activities in Uganda(Blog Post, 2024-12-23) Achandi, Leah; Galiè, Alessandra; Mwenda, Terry; Kimani, JudyItem Binti Shujaaz(Extension Material, 2024-07-01) Komba, Lucky; Mpenze, Neema; Mbugua, Narayan; Biamah, Stephan; Deacon, Bridget; Galiè, Alessandra ; Achandi, Esther; Omondi, Immaculate A.; Campbell, Zoë A. ; Jeremiah, Adolf; Jumba, Humphrey; Ngoteya, Godfrey; Kariuki, Eunice; Omore, Amos O.Binti Shujaaz means “heroine” in Swahili, a fitting name for the young women who are persevering in chicken keeping despite restrictive gender norms in their communities that can limit young women in agri-business. This comic book written in Swahili was distributed in Tanzania in 2024 to support community conversations about norms. The stories were informed by research on social norms conducted by the International Livestock Research Institute.Item Dairy farmer extension services model: a successful research trial in Kenya's dairy sector(Blog Post, 2024-11-04) Kimani, Judy; Rao, E.J.O.; Slater, AnnabelItem SAPLING gender research in Uganda: Agnes Nahwaya, gender officer, Mukono District(Video, 2024-11) International Livestock Research InstituteItem SAPLING gender research: Alessandra Galie, gender team leader, ILRI(Video, 2024-11) International Livestock Research InstituteItem SAPLING gender research in Uganda: Minisa Namukose Kirya, gender officer, Mukono District(Video, 2024-11) International Livestock Research InstituteItem SAPLING gender research in Uganda: Lilian Musisi, gender officer, Masaka District(Video, 2024-11) International Livestock Research InstituteItem SAPLING gender research activities in Mukono and Masaka districts, Uganda(Video, 2024-11) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Capacity building to support regional Livestock Master Plan: Part II(Training Material, 2024-12) Bahta, Sirak T.Item A manual for the application of a systems dynamics user-friendly interface for peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and Rift Valley fever (RVF) animal diseases and market models(Manual, 2024-12) Bahta, Sirak T.; Wanyoike, Francis N.; Chan, DerekItem Innovative approaches on heat detection and female calf production in buffalo(Report, 2024-12) Devkota, Bhuminand; Yadav, Kapil Dev; Pokharel, Aashirbad; Gautum, Gokarna; Shah, Shatrughan; Deka, Ram Pratim; Rekik, Mourad; Nepal, YanamaniItem Local veterinarians in Nepal use ultrasonography (USG) to better diagnose and treat reproductive disorders in buffalo(Brief, 2024-12) Nepal, Yanamani; Varijakshapanicker, PadmakumarItem Qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of the dairy farmer assistant (DFA) extension model(Report, 2024-12) Auma, Joseph; Rao, E.J.O.; Baltenweck, Isabelle; Kimani, Judy; Oyoo, OliverItem Smallholder farmers in Kenya applied integrated nutrition education promoted by SAPLING(Brief, 2024-12) Soi, Mercy C.; Ouko, Ochieng; Geremew, Kumlachew; Yemane, Tsion; Esatu, Wondmeneh; Ochieng, Laurence; Yitayih, Mulugeta; Dessie, TadelleItem Achieving gender equity in Kenya’s informal dairy sector(Book Chapter, 2024-10-14) Jumba, Humphrey; Alonso, Silvia; Galiè, Alessandra; Kilonzi, Emily; Sharma, Garima; Omondi, Immaculate A.Item Enhancing livestock sector simulation: Synergizing herd dynamic and multimarket models with female-sexed artificial insemination as a policy scenario(Report, 2024-12) Maruta, Asfaw Admasu; Bahta, Sirak T.; Enahoro, Dolapo K.; Baltenweck, IsabelleItem Dynamic duo: Exploring mortality rate shock effects in integrated livestock models(Report, 2024-12) Maruta, Admasu Asfaw; Bahta, Sirak T.
