AB  - A study of economic implications of preventive veterinary 
  services to cattle production system in Yola, Adamawa State was undertaken to 
  determine the level of Preventive Veterinary Medicine (PVM) practiced in the 
  area. Questionnaires and oral interviews were used to obtain data on animal 
  husbandry activities, health status and production indices. Poor farm record 
  keeping was a feature of all farms. There was inadequate supply of information 
  on husbandry, health and production indices. Preventive measures against some 
  diseases like anthrax and shipping fever were not carried out on any of the 
  farms. Husbandry practice was mainly free-range and vaccination coverage was 
  for Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia and Black quarter. Routine deworming 
  was below expectations as it ranged from 15-25% coverage. Most farmers dewormed 
  only their young stock.
