Tick-Borne Disease Control
Tick-borne diseases — including East Coast Fever, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosis — are among the leading causes of cattle mortality in Kenya. Dr. Erick offers integrated tick management programs that combine strategic acaricide use, pasture management, and immunization to break the tick-disease cycle on your farm.
Our integrated tick control approach goes beyond simply dipping cattle. We analyze your farm's specific tick species, assess acaricide resistance patterns in your region, and develop a comprehensive management program that is both effective and sustainable. By combining chemical control with pasture management and strategic immunization, we help farmers achieve long-term tick control rather than temporary suppression.
What We Offer
- Tick burden assessment and species identification
- Acaricide resistance testing and product selection
- Strategic dipping and spraying protocols
- ECF immunization (infection and treatment method)
- Pasture and paddock rotation strategies
- Disease monitoring and early warning systems
