Geospatial Technology in Animal Health Delivery
Catherine Pfeifer, spatial analyst
Delivery of animal health services in extensive livestock production systems Workshop
8 March 2017
Overview
• What does ILRI already do?
• Getting the livestock numbers right
• Understanding the spatiality of livestock diseases
• Towards near real time outbreak predictions
• Use of drones in animal health delivery • Opportunities • Challenges
Getting livestock number right
Mapping livestock distribution In collaboration with FAO, ULBSpatial allocation model of livestock based on FAO data

New products we are working on:• Livestock keeper map (per species)• Poor livestock keeper map• Herd sizes map
Understanding the spatiality of diseases
Mapping risk & vulnerability (ex : Rift valley Fever) Exposure
Other risk map Avian flu (Robinson et al) East coast fever (ongoing)
Towards near real time outbreak predictions
2 Phd projects with Wageningen University in Laikipia
Virtual environmental observatoriesCrowd sourcing for tick
observations with
mobile phone
Temporal risk map for East Coast Fever
Other spatial data
Near real-time satellite derived data
Overview
• What does ILRI already do?

• Use of drones in animal health delivery • Opportunities • Challenges
What will drones change in animal health delivery?
Getting validation points on the ground
Þ improved livestock count Understanding wildlife livestock
interaction Understanding livestock movement
=> Improved spatio-temporal disease risk modeling
Quick delivery of vaccines to non-accessible area
Assessing animal health with thermal images
What are the challenges with drones?
Differentiating livestock and wildlife?
Count the livestock?
What area can we cover?
How to account for livestock movement?

the CGIAR system
Animal health delivery can benefit from geo-spatial technologies for :
1. Getting more accurate livestock estimates2. Understanding disease spatio-temporal risk better
3. Supporting early warning systems
