It highlights major activities and progress made under each component during the period under review. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Livestock for Growth (L4G) implemented several successful activities which resulted in significant achievements as follows: 343 producers, including 206 women and 137 men, participated in the Training of Trainers’ workshops on various topics dealing with forage production, harvesting, and storage techniques. Each participant in turn is expected to train 25 people each, hence contributing to 8,575 L4G clients trained. Of the 391 POs in participating in the project project, 333 received training on production of high quality inputs, including licking blocks for animal fattening L4G private veterenairians in Bankass and Koro are intensifying their services to farmers and have vaccinated 72,000 animals, earning a combined profit of $11,177 USD L4G partnered with VIA Consulting to conduct an assessment of the Mali Livestock Market Information System (LMIS) L4G successfully expanded the program into Timbuktu during this quarter by contracting with the Malian NGO AMRAD. The contract was signed on December 19, 2016 and following that the team was mobilized on the field and they prepared a Start-up report including initiating work on the baseline (to be pursued through Q2) and other work documents FY 2017 Quarter 1 Report | Mali Livestock for Growth (L4G) 1 COMPONENT 1. LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION 1.1 ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION, DISSEMINATION, AND MANAGEMENT Task 1.1.1 Modernize Animal Health Delivery Systems VETERINARY SERVICES L4G monitored and supported the three private veterinarian businesses in Koro (1) and Bankass (2) Cercles. During this quarter, they vaccinated about 71,953 animals against various diseases that included Cattle Pneumonia (PPCB), Pasteurolosis, and Black Leg. Their combined profit was $11,177 USD over three months. This clearly shows that private veterinarian services can be a profitable activity in rural areas while providing this important service to the farmer at an affordable price . Table 1 below provides details on the vaccines administered to each livestock animal type, revenues, and profits realized by the SVPPs. Table 1: SVPP reported activities and financial returns October 1 – December 31, 2016 Total # of Animals Price Per Gross margin Vaccine Animal revenue Vaccinated Vaccination (FCFA) (FCFA) Péri T1 Cattle 39,414 110 4,335,540 3,310,776 Pastobov + Symptovac Cattle 21,002 100 2,100,200 1,470,140 Pastovin Sheep/Goat 11,537 100 1,153,700 807,590 Total 71,953 7,589,440 5,588,506 Note: For PPCB vaccine, 1 dose is purchased wholesale at 26 CFAF and resold at 110 CFA, hence a profit of 84 CFAF. For Pasteurellosis and black leg vaccine, 1 dose is purchased wholesale at 30 CFAF and resold at 100 CFAF, with a profit of 70 CFA/dose. Expanding SVPP Support Since October 2016, L4G identified 4 private vets in the new zones in Bandiagara (1), Mopti (1), and Djenné (2) Districts (Cercles). L4G sensitized the communities, the private vets, and the public services on the SVPP approach. As described in Table 2 below, these efforts contributed to identify 26 auxiliary vets (AEs) based on the needs and selection criteria. The AEs were selected by the private vets and the communities in collaboration with L4G. These AEs will work under the supervision of the vets in the new zones after a business model. While the ability of the AEs to deliver certain services is limited by the legal and regulatory environment, AE services ultimately are more affordable and closer to livestock owners.
