Body

In many areas of east Africa cattle dips are needed to combat tickborne diseases. Currently the dips are installed near permanent water supplies and easy access roads, which leads to concentrations of livestock and overgrazing. However, with better management planning dips may be used as a tool to open new grazing areas and to increase the carrying capacity of the region. This article refers to the existing Tanzanian government programs for the pastoral peoples located mainly in the Masai district of northern Tanzania.
