The Feed The Future Innovation lab for Animal Health is a carefully thought collaboration that will combine good laboratory or bench science merged with excellent field studies to improve uptake of animal health interventions and deliberate measures of impact on the nutritional status of women and children, income of families and opportunities to improve the lives of livestock keepers.
The programme will identify interventions to reduce livestock diseases, particularly the deadly cattle disease known as East Coast fever and further develop local capacity in animal health through research training and institutional development.
