Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were determined using the disk diffusion technique. Full sensitivity to all the eight antimicrobial agents in the test panel was observed in 46 % of all isolates. Resistance to at least one antimicrobial was observed in 10 % of the isolates while multi-drug resistance (two or more antibiotics) was observed in 26 % of the isolates. Generally, resistance was significantly higher for isolates from swine and poultry than in cattle. The overall prevalence was 22 % for sulfamethoxazole, 21 % for co-trimoxazole, 19 % for ampicillin, 14 % for tetracycline, 9 % for streptomycin, 4.4 % for chloramphenicol and 2.5 % for kanamycin. No resistance was observed for gentamycin. It was concluded from the study that healthy food animals form a reservoir of multiple resistant E. coli which may be transmitted to humans through the food chain. Thus, continued surveillance of E. coli obtained from food production continuum is merited to identify emerging antimicrobial-resistant phenotypes.

The prevalence was calculated for each of the 7 provinces and the overall prevalence for 7 provinces was then calculated from the pooled provincial data. Records from North-Eastern province were not available for analysis, since the meat inspectorate services in this province have not been taken over by the Department of Veterinary services. They are still under the Ministry of Health and the records are in the custody of this ministry. The prevalence of hydatid cysts in various animal organs was determined. Cattle showed the highest overall prevalence (50.4%), followed by sheep with 48.8%, goats with 34.3% and lastly pigs with 2.4%. cattle, sheep and goats slaughtered in Rift-Valley Province had the highest prevalence of hydatidosis, which was 14.1%, 15.6% and 11.8% respectively. In pigs, the highest prevalence (0.8%) was recorded in central province. In all the species, hydatid cysts were found to be commonly located in the lungs and liver, and they were rarely encountered in the other organs. Prevalence of livestock hydatidosis in Kenya appears to have increased, thus concerted control measures should be undertaken with emphasis being placed on the provinces with the highest prevalence of the disease.

The disease is prevalent among zero-grazed dairy cattle, where cows are fed on cut herbage and domestic feed wastes. In a period of 12years (1988-2000), 398 dairy cattle were operated on for removal of offending sharp or metallic objects and the affected cows responded with an increase in milk production. A laparorumenotomy performed routinely under a paravertebral nerve block with only 15-20 mls of 2%lignocaine, with occasional use of 100mg chlorpromazine as a tranquilizer, cost the farmer only US$70.0. This amount was very affordable by ordinary farmers, particularly women who keep zero-grazed cows. The same operation costs upto US $400.0 in North America and some European countries. The recovery rate after operation was 98%. The operations were carried out on farm premises in full view of the farmers who were also instructed on post operative care of their animals. Stitches were removed 10-12 days post-friendly operation that is well suited for poor developing countries like Uganda.

The most affected were shoats, cattle, camels and dogs with mortalities of up to 90%. Donkeys and humans were only mildly affected with no deaths reported. Clinical signs occurred within 1 hour after drinking the water. Initially, the animals displayed increased frequency of urination, followed by symptoms of respiratory insufficiency, comprising of dyspnea, cyanosis, rapid and weak pulse and general weakness. The signs progressed into methemoglobinuria, sever pain, trebling, convulsions, collapse, coma, and death within hours. Rapid decomposition, brown discoloration of mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract corrosion and cooked appearance of visceral organs were observed at postmortem.

Convenient delivery and lower prices are the principal benefits for poor consumers. Current milk handling and safety regulations in Kenya are derived from models in industrialized countries. These may not be appropriate for local market conditions. An important step in targeting policies better is to collect quantitative and qualitative information about milk-borne health risk under different market situations. Preliminary results of assessments of milk quality and handling practices of informal milk market agents and consumers in central Kenya show very low apparent prevalence of zoonotic health hazards in milk from smallholder herds o[that contribute most marketed milk. Higher bacterial counts were associated with longer market chains and distance to urban areas. Most (up to 80%) of samples did not meet national bacterial quality standards. Over 96% of consumes boiled milk before consumption mainly to lengthen shelf life but also for health reasons. The most important health risks were judged to be from antimicrobial residues found in up to 16% of milk samples tested.

Available data between 1990 and 1998 show a decrease in the total number of insemination and disparity in the performance of the A.I services in different parts of the country since the advent of privatization.
