“…Movement restrictions and local quarantines mean the closure of livestock markets and reduced or no opportunities for sale of live animals (Rossiter and Hammadi, 2009). Therefore, smallholders and poor pastoral producers may be severely affected if markets are closed due to this disease (Rich and Perry, 2011).…”

The study was conducted in central part of Ethiopia in 2011 with the objectives to determine seroprevalence and associated economic impact on cattle feedlots. From the total of 38,187 bulls examined for foot and mouth disease (FMD) antibody, 5,536 (14.5%) was found positive and subsequently rejected from international market. The seropositivity of FMD varied from site to site and the variations were statistically significant (χ 2 = 3.28, df = 9, p < 0.001). Similarly, there was statistically significant (χ 2 = 4.55, df = 9, p < 0.001) difference between months of the year. The total annual (2011) economic loss due to bulls rejection from international market was estimated to be 3,322,269 USD which is equivalent to 56,345,682.24 ETB (1 USD = 16.96 ETB). This study indicates that FMD resulted in bulls' rejection from international market which affect livelihood of actors in the value chain and have a major threat to national economies as they tend to affect the international trade. Therefore, directing surveillance and controlling activities at pastoral production system where FMD risk arise and appropriate intervention measures along the market chain are critical factors necessary to prevent the introduction and spread into feedlots.

“…Out of their many service delivery activities effective control of diseases and outbreaks are major responsibilities. However, disease control strategies, often fail to recognize constraints inherent among farmers, veterinary services, and other value chain actors (Rich and Perry, 2011). When technologies were more sustainable and provided substantial benefits for rural poor, promising advances in adoption of practices were noticed (Pretty et al, 2003).…”

“…It is compounded by the fact that in control of tick farmers did not possess adequate knowledge, poor quality veterinary service and lack of suitable drugs (Byaruhanga et al, 2015). These impacts are always multidimensional and difficult to frame with suitable policy response (Rich & Perry, 2011). It is an urgent step to identify and share cost-effective and environment friendly technologies to farmers.…”

Tick infestation is a major problem affecting farm animals and the problem is acute in hilly regions. Livestock owners who owns small herd for their sustenance, food security find it difficult to seek alternative options. Demanding physical work and lack of interface with institutions hinders their imagination thereby any new measures of control. The collaborative work of National Innovation Foundation-India and Dr G C Negi, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Palampur Himachal Pradesh resulted in sharing a model of exchanging technical know-how from research station/University system to farm field. The study had noticed that rate of infestation at predilection site was 10.90±6.84 ( ±α) number of ticks. The data were analyzed statistically using paired ‗t' test. The calculated value of t0.05 for 20 d.f was 6.89 ( at 24 hour); 5.78 ( at 48 hour) intervals was more than ‗t' table value (t0.05, 20=2.08) confirming significant efficacy of indigenous medication. It was found that herbal medication had shown 75 percent efficacy over tick infestation upon second day of administration. These in-situ herbal preparations which can be prepared at farmers field needs to be diffused for benefit of livestock owners. Sustaining environment friendly technology is paramount and is more imminent in Hilly regions. The research work demonstrated importance of leveraging animal husbandry department for technology demonstrations.
