 To achieve the above goal, ISDAP’s mandate includes ably identifying specific issues affecting smallholder farmers and together with the SHF finding solutions to address the identified issues.

And as such, it has been identified during field visits by the ISDAP team members, that most, if not all the village learning groups (VLGs) have substandard cattle crushes, mostly owned individually, used by smallholder dairy farmers where there is a need for cattle restraint like during spraying, deworming or AI.

Secondly, the way SHF’s are addressing tick control is lacking either because of the equipment they use, not following the acaricide dilution rates or spraying intervals as recommended.

To address the above issues, there is need for

1.    a strong, effective, and affordable cattle crush to safely restrain the cattle during spraying, AI, treatment or during any other situation where cattle restraint is required

2.    an effective tick control strategy based on a viable business model.

It is against this backdrop, that ISDAP is not only proposing to elevate the standard of cattle crushes at the smallholder farms, but also to create and equip SPEN spraying teams to provide spraying services through a viable business model

Objective of the activity

• To identify and recruit a service provider or contractor that is credible and qualified in the construction of standard cattle crushes
