Professor Andrew Peters brings with him a wealth of experience in veterinary science and global livestock development.
Before rolling out interventions, MaziwaPlus will investigate the social, economic, and behavioural drivers of mastitis and antibiotic use.
The Hub will serve as a collaborative platform for scientists, researchers, and industry stakeholders to drive research, innovation, and capacity-building in animal health.
Dr. Siboniso Moyo, ILRI’s Deputy Director General for Partnerships and Impact, highlighted these developments during a high-level visit to IITA Ibadan.
The study found that animal health providers (AHPs) primarily diagnose mastitis based on clinical signs and herd history rather than microbiological testing.
This innovation has the potential to significantly reduce the economic losses caused by ASFV in the global swine industry.
