Most of the future increase in livestock production is expected to
occur in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Cattle
are the most numerous of the ruminant species in the tropics and
provide the largest quantity of animal food products. More than
one-third of the world's cattle are found in the tropics. Disease
is the major factor which prohibits full utilization of these
regions for cattle production. Various infectious and transmissible
viral, rick ettsial, bacterial, and particularly protozoan and
helminthic diseases, are widespread in the tropics and exert a
heavy toll on the existing cattle industry there. This uncontrolled
disease situation also discourages investment in cattle industries
by private and government sectors. In Africa alone, it is estimated
that 125 million head of cattle could be accommodated in the
tropical rainbelt if the disease and other animal husbandry factors
could be resolved. The potential of efficient cattle production
under more favorable conditions prompted various international
agencies to establish a multi million dollar International
Laboratory for Research in Animal Diseases (ILRAD) in Nairobi,
Kenya, Africa. In South America, principal sites for raising cattle
are shifting to the savannah lands because the more fertile soils
are being used for crop produc tion, however, in the savannahs
also, disease remains the most powerful deterrent in implementing
the cattle industry."
