Context
Aflatoxin, a highly toxic compound produced by Aspergillus fungi, naturally contaminates crops especially maize, groundnut, and sorghum. It’s a major food safety concern for consumers worldwide. People are exposed to the toxins when they consume contaminated grains or foods prepared with such grains or through consumption of milk or meat of livestock that have been fed with contaminated feeds. The toxins suppress the immune system, retard growth, cause liver cancer, and may cause death in both humans and domestic animals. Aflatoxin is a barrier to trade, limits access to premium grain markets, leading to loss of income for the farmer & traders, disrupting food & industrial raw material supply system

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
