SMALL RUMINANT POPULATION (goat-sheep): 410.000 - 340.000

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION FIRST/LAST OUTBREAK: Two types of small ruminant production system: main one is under traditional livestock farmers and only few are modern peri-urban livestock farmers. High frequency of animal movements of which uncontrolled cross-border movements. The lack of identification systems hamper any initiative to regulate or ensure the safety of animal movements and the circulation of animal products.

CONTROL ACTIVITIES: Nationwide vaccinations have been carried out systematically from 2011 to 2016 except for 2014 because of Ebola crisis. Vaccinations are carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture with the support of projects (VACNADA, USAID) and FAO. Current vaccinations do not cover all susceptible small ruminants.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Two types of small ruminant production system: main one is under traditional livestock farmers and only few are modern peri-urban livestock farmers. High frequency of animal movements of which uncontrolled cross-border movements. The lack of identification systems hamper any initiative to regulate or ensure the safety of animal movements and the circulation of animal products.

SMALL RUMINANT POPULATION (goat-sheep): 21.087.150 - 15.143.415

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION FIRST/LAST OUTBREAK: First PPR reported in 1999. The disease is endemic in most parts of the country.

CONTROL ACTIVITIES: Annual vaccination campaign running each year from 2012 implemented by public veterinary services and private sectors. Between PPR vaccinations currently supported by the World Bank-funded project: Regional Sahel Pastoralism Support Project (PRAPS) and FAO.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Generally extensive rearing for small ruminants with no dietary supplementation: agro pastoral system mainly based on meat production. SR also contribute to agriculture through the supply of manure, transhumant system mainly practiced in the centre of the country in Ségou, Mopti, Kayes and part of Koulikoro Region and nomadic system practiced in the north-west.

SMALL RUMINANT POPULATION (goat-sheep): 15.865.874 - 11.841.778

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION FIRST/LAST OUTBREAK: Many outbreaks from 2010 to 2016 have been registered withing the Country.

CONTROL ACTIVITIES: Internal and external vaccine quality control are in place. Annual vaccination campaign is running from 2008-2009 up to 2015-2016.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Sedentary, transhumant and nomadic livestock management with high seasonal mobility throughout the year. Displacement of livestock from south to north, east to west depending on the season (dry or rainy).

SMALL RUMINANT POPULATION (goat-sheep): 68.581.090 - 41.147.464

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION FIRST/LAST OUTBREAK: Few outbreaks have been registered between 2010 and 2014.

CONTROL ACTIVITIES: Vaccination campaign cover a wide area of the region targeting 4 months old SR. Up until now the surveillance has always been passive each year.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Three different production system type: Pastoral-nomadic or transhumant with sheep moving along with cattle on the trade route or sheep flock only; agro-pastoral system confined in rainy season and peri-urban (intensive) used for fattening.

SMALL RUMINANT POPULATION (goat-sheep): 5.199.335 - 6.081.341

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION FIRST/LAST OUTBREAK: Many outbreaks have been registered from 2005 to 2016 mainly around 5/9 per year with exception for 2008 in which 28 outbreaks were registered in the country.

CONTROL ACTIVITIES: 600.000 doses of vaccine effectively inoculated in the past few years.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Based on agro-ecological parameters husbandry system is divided in: a transhumant pastoral system located north (35% small ruminant); an agro-pastoral system in centre and south based on extensive farming model (62% small ruminant) and an intensive urban and peri-urban livestock farming (3% small ruminant).
