Wilson, A.J. (Indonesia International Animal Science Research and Development Foundation, Bogor (Indonesia)) | Ginting, N. | Romjali, E.
The important diseases of small ruminants are discussed, both those that directly affect small ruminant production and those that can affect other species, including man. Three non-veterinary factors must be kept in mind when developing control strategies: farmer needs (Farmer First Approach), production systems and climatic factors. Strategies to minimise the incidence of disease problems are enumerated: management aspects; chemical agents; pasture management and genetic resistance. These strategies and their delivery to the farmer must be developed in an integrated approach to disease control incorporating nutrition, research, extension, the government and private sectors, suitable technology, training the farmer and recognising the farmers' needs
