Madagascar - Cattle exports. “The first batch of 120 steers heading to the Comoros will leave the port of Mahajanga, north western Madagascar, next Saturday,” said the Farming minister, Ihanta Randriamandranto, reports DailyNation. Local traders also expect to meet orders received from the neighbouring island of Mauritius soon. Strict veterinary conditions must be respected, according to the minister. The annual quota for the island is 50,000 cattle. Export is allowed only for steers weighing more than 300 kilogrammes. Calves and cows are banned. A government source said the national herd stands at approximately nine million. With the high consumption of beef in the country, the national herd is under threat. Official records show Madagascar slaughters an annual average of 450,000 cattle.
With its two million inhabitants, the capital city Antananarivo alone consumes at least 250 cattle a day. Source: Argentine Beef Packers S.A. Back to News Headlines. Fièvre de la vallée du Rift.

Abstract Participatory epidemiology (PE) is an evolving branch of veterinary epidemiology which uses a combination of practitioner communication skills and participatory methods to improve the involvement of animal keepers in the analysis of animal disease problems, and the design, implementation and evaluation of disease control programmes and policies.
This review describes the origins of PE and how the application of PE requires attention to both a participatory approach and participatory methods, supported by triangulation of data with conventional veterinary diagnostic methods. The review summarizes the various adaptations and uses of PE, including the design of primary veterinary service delivery systems, veterinary research and disease surveillance. In contrast to conventional data collection methods, an integral aspect PE is the concept of applying and evaluating new disease control programmes or surveillance systems in partnership with animal owners.
