Introduction
�Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) evolved from rapid rural appraisal (RRA)
�RRA: rapid collection of data by non-members of the community for comprehensive understanding of the rural situation
Introduction cont
PRA: intensive, systematic, but semi-structured method of having an overview and analyses of the prevailing situation in community with the community actively involved in the process.
Objectives study
�Overview of the livestock health problems and their management by the Fulanis
�detect disease or health problems of importance to community
�prevalence or incidence

� Introduction of appraisal team � Identify respondents � Types of livestock reared &
husbandry systems � Identification & description of at
least 3 diseases for each livestock
� Grazing location/pattern � Visual & Physical examination � Proportional piling exercise
Methods cont
� Approximately 30% of the Fulani community were randomly visited during study
� Among techniques of PRA: Open-ended interview with respondents, transect & proportional piling

Methods cont
� Sourced information were recorded as non-numeric, non-categorical testimonies from oral explanations of respondents
� Iterative analyses
� Participatory (probing, triangulation) analyses
� Samples and ticks were collected during visits for laboratory diagnosis & identification

Results
�Most important: Haemorrhagic septicaemia
�Most prevalent: Babesiosis & contagious bovine pleuro pneumonia (CBPP)
�Other health problems: Newcastle disease (ND), fascioliasis, brucellosis, tick & tsetse fly infestation.
Results cont
� High incidence of conjunctivitis and fever among the Fulani communities usually accompanies tick Infestation in both cattle and goat
� Major challenge: limited water supply particularly over the dry season
� > 90% of the respondents do not seek veterinary consultation
Results cont
� Community had no specific grazing lands allocated for grazing
� Increase in the incidence of diseases during the rainy season
� Lab confirmations: infectious bursa disease (poultry), CBPP, babesiosis, ND, fascioliasis, brucellosis & tick infestation
� Fulanis, not effectively integrated into the nation’s livestock disease control & health maintenance system
Discussion
� PRA, a useful tool for reliable data collection: on spatiotemporal prevalence or incidence of diseases and to inform research design & goal.
� PRA can be used to liaise with, empower & integrate the rural or remotely located livestock-owning communities in the control of animal diseases.
Conclusion
�This study reiterates the benefits of PRA, particularly in improving the detection & understanding of problems faced by farmers.
�Proving to be an indispensable tool for sustainable disease control, rural development particularly in developing nations.
