Drug Residues in Bulk Tank Milk in Mbarara District BY: JOSEPHINE NAMAYANJA 19th /11/2019 Mentor: Prof. Susanna Sternberg-SLU • Veterinary drugs are vital as the ultimate strategy to treat animal infections • Proper utilization of drugs and chemicals in food animals provides economic benefits to both the consumer and producer • However, their inappropriate use may pose health hazards to the public through generation of residues that remain in tissues of treated animals at the time of consumption • This results into the development of resistance of previously susceptible microbial agents to treatment • The most common cause is failure to observe proper withdrawal periods following treatment • In Uganda, especially amongst the livestock farmers, the danger of veterinary drug residues is not clearly understood Main objective; Creating awareness on veterinary drug residues in milk amongst smallholder dairy farmers Specific objectives; • Assessment of farmers knowledge and practices regarding veterinary drug residues • Training farmers on the proper use of veterinary drugs, effects of drug residues and the benefits of producing milk free from drug residues • Mobilisation of farmers • Conducting a baseline survey • Development of training materials • Training of the farmers Project area • The project was conducted in Bubaare Sub-county, Mbarara district, located in southwestern Uganda • The district boarders Ibanda and Kiruhura Districts to the north; Kiruhura and Isingiro Districts to the east; Isingiro and Ntungamo Districts to the south; and Sheema District to the west. • As is the case with the majority of Ugandan districts, agriculture is the mainstay of the economy of Mbarara District, raising both crops and livestock • A baseline survey was conducted using a questionnaire guided interview- 6 farms randomly selected • Observations • The drugs considered for the project were the commonly used antibiotics Variable Category Frequency Age <50 years 6 (100%) >50 years 0 Gender Female 2 (33%) Male 4 (67%) Level of education No formal education 0 Primary education 1 (17%) Secondary education 3 (50%) Tertiary education 2 (33%) Type of farm Small scale 6 (100%) Large scale 0 Duration in farming business <5 years 0 >5 years 6 (100%) Variable Category Frequency Reason for antibiotic use To treat sick animals 6 (100%) To prevent diseases 0 To make animals grow faster 0 Use OTC Yes 6 (100%) No 0 Use Penistrep Yes 5 (83%) No 1 (17%) Use Gentamycin Yes 2 (33%) No 4 (67%) Information provided when No information provided 6 (100%) purchasing antibiotics Correct dosage 0 Directions for use 0 Storage instructions 0 Potential side effects 0 Expiry date 0 Factors considered when Price of antibiotic 0 purchasing antibiotics Availability of antibiotic 0 Prescription by veterinarian 6 (100%) Recommendation by other 0 farmers Variable Category Frequency Antibiotics divided in smaller doses for Yes 2 (33%) use in more animals No 4 (67%) Larger doses are used to get quick and Yes 0 more efficient treatment No 6 (100%) Animals treated the whole Yes 1 (17%) recommended time period No 5 (83%) How milk from animals still on Sold 0 treatment used Consumed 0 Given to calves 1 (17%) Discarded 5 (83%) How milk from animals that have been Sold 0 on treatment (24hrs) used Consumed 5 (83%) Given to calves 0 Discarded 1 (17%) Who administers the antibiotics Farmer 0 Veterinarian 2 (33%) Herdsman 4 (67%) Variable Category Frequency Failure to observe withdrawal periods can lead to Strongly agree 1 (17%) antibiotic residues in milk Agree 4 (67%) Don’t know 1 (17%) Disagree 0 Strongly disagree 0 It is best to throw away milk from animals on Strongly agree 1 (17%) treatment and shortly after treatment Agree 5 (83%) Don’t know 0 Disagree 0 Strongly disagree 0 Boiling can remove antibiotic residues from milk Strongly agree 0 Agree 0 Don’t know 2 (33%) Disagree 4 (67%) Strongly disagree 0 Milk from animals on treatment should be given to Strongly agree 0 calves Agree 1(17%) Don’t know 3 (50%) Disagree 2 (33%) Strongly disagree 0 Antibiotic residues in milk can cause resistant Strongly agree 0 bacteria which cannot be treated, leading to both Agree 2 (33%) animal and human diseases Don’t know 4 (67%) Disagree 0 Strongly disagree 0 Antibiotic residues can interfere with milk quality Strongly agree 0 tests such that bacteria in milk are not detected Agree 4 (67%) Don’t know 2 (33%) Disagree 0 Strongly disagree 0 • The survey was conducted to assess the knowledge and practices of the dairy farmers with regards to drug withdrawal periods and veterinary drug residues • The survey showed that majority of the farmers had knowledge about the withdrawal periods and drug residues in milk • However, most of them do not observe the withdrawal periods fully • Training of farmers on prudent use of antibiotics and other veterinary drugs as well as biosecurity measures • Involving other stakeholders in the milk value chain • Conducting a follow-up to assess change in behavior of smallholder farmers with regards to the veterinary drug residues • Expanding the project to other sub counties of the district and later to other districts • Financial constraints • Unwillingness of farmers to respond to the interview Mbarara district veterinary staff ITP 2 participants Thank you for listening.

  • New District Creation in Uganda and Local Actors: Passive Recipients Or Active Pursuers?
    Journal of Public Administration and Governance ISSN 2161-7104 2018, Vol. 8, No. 2 New District Creation in Uganda and Local Actors: Passive Recipients or Active Pursuers? Tabaro Robert (Corresponding Author) Kyambogo University P.O Box 01, Kyambogo, Uganda Katusiimeh Mesharch Makerere University Business School, P.O Box 1337, Kampala, Uganda Nadia Molenaers Institute of Development Policy and Management Lange St.-Annastraat 7, B-2000 ANTWERP Prinsstraat 13, B-2000 ANTWERP, Belgium Received: March 26, 2018 Accepted: May 8, 2018 Online published: May 24, 2018 doi:10.5296/jpag.v8i2.13191 URL: https://doi.org/10.5296/jpag.v8i2.13191 Abstract From the 1990s, Uganda embarked on a process of subdividing administrative units (districts) as part of the decentralization programme supposedly to bring services closer to the people. Literature has, however, shown that in most of the cases the process is used as a strategy by the incumbent president- Museveni for his political survival. As such, new district creation is seen as a process driven by central political elites. The role of local policy entrepreneurs (actors) has thus been given limited attention. Basing on thirty five elite interviews and document review, we established that local policy entrepreneurs do matter in policy change processes and can at times challenge the position of central political elites. Focusing on the new district of Sheema in western Uganda (split from „mother‟ district of Bushenyi in 2010), we found out that president Museveni who initially „opposed‟ the idea of a new district had to finally give in to peoples‟ demands. This was because local policy entrepreneurs in Sheema were determined, eager, highly motivated and smart in strategizing and forming alliances in 62 http://jpag.macrothink.org Journal of Public Administration and Governance ISSN 2161-7104 2018, Vol.
