dc.description.abstractIn 1990, the estimated livestock population in Kenya was over 20 million head of cattle, 30 million sheep and goats, and 800,00 camels, three quarters of which were found in the arid and semi-arid lands. Unfortunately 60% of Kenya's range lands, which is about 25% of the land mass, cannot support livestock because of trypanosomiasis, losses of up to 30% are experienced. Trypanosomiasis leads to under - Exploitation of Resources and to a lower level of animals Production Than would be achieved if the if the disease was eliminated. The direct costs of the disease includes mortality, Disease related syndromes, cost of detection, prevention operations and research.
