About this Publication:
The data presented in this GALVmed Monitoring and Evaluation peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Preventive Veterinary Medicine focuses on the analysis and interpretation of smallholder data collected via surveys that were rolled out in Market Development field projects where commercial Newcastle Disease (ND) vaccine supply chains were being introduced to serve smallholders customers. Data was collected prior to ND vaccine delivery (baseline) and after 16 - 24 months (endline). The results are presented in terms of the uptake of ND vaccine, flock size, consumption of poultry meat, and poultry sales from Gairo district in Tanzania, Mayurbhanj district in India and Banke district in Nepal. The data generated through this study was foremostly aimed at building market understanding for GALVmed and the numerous partners engaging the smallholder animal health market. The data collected can then inform market size and market penetration considerations. Such evidence and understanding is crucial to GALVmed in working towards its mission of developing effective market based animal health distribution networks that can provide smallholders with a portfolio of products to meet their livestock health needs.
