英文文献:Determinants of Farmers’ Preferences for alternative Trypanosomosis Control Technologies among Smallholder Dairy cattle farms in Busia County, Kenya-肯尼亚布希亚县小农奶牛场中农民对其他锥虫病控制技术偏好的决定因素锥虫病是肯尼亚限制牲畜扩张的最重要的一种疾病

英文文献摘要:
Trypanosomosis is the single most important disease constraining the expansion of livestock in Kenya. Several technologies have been developed to ameliorate the effects of the disease. However, the delivery of these technologies to farmers has been undertaken on trial and error basis without a proper strategy. This has led to more failures than success and contributed to wastage of scarce resources. The main objective of this study was to estimate determinants of preferences for different trypanosomosis control technologies among smallholder cattle farmers in Busia County, Kenya. This study utilized a cross–sectional survey design based on a sample of 217 respondents. Data was collected by use of structured questionnaires and interview schedules. Data from the research instruments were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Study results show that the most common mode of controlling tsetse fly was through spraying at home followed by communal spraying while the factors affecting the choice of trypanosomiasis control were: age, sex, education, expenditure, milk income, and experience. A high preference for home spraying was noted indicating the possibility sustainable household tsetse control. The study recommends that Farmers should be encouraged to integrate the existing control methods with cheaper ones like insecticide treated traps and zero grazing nets.

已经开发了几种技术来改善这种疾病的影响。然而,向农民提供这些技术是在试验和错误的基础上进行的,没有一个适当的战略。这导致了更多的失败而不是成功,并造成了稀缺资源的浪费。本研究的主要目的是估计肯尼亚布希亚县小农户对不同锥虫病控制技术偏好的决定因素。本研究采用横断面调查设计,以217名受访者为样本。数据通过结构化问卷和访谈表收集。来自研究工具的数据使用描述和推论统计分析进行分析。研究结果表明,控制采采蝇最常见的方式是在家喷洒,其次是集体喷洒,而影响采采蝇防治选择的因素有:年龄、性别、教育程度、支出、奶源收入和经验。对采采蝇家庭喷雾的偏好较高,表明了采采蝇家庭可持续防治的可能性。该研究建议应该鼓励农民将现有的控制方法与更便宜的方法结合起来,比如杀虫剂处理的陷阱和零放牧网。
