Description
Moti Wakgari Amenta reports a 2026 cohort study on worms, ticks, and calf deaths in Ethiopia. Demand for milk and meat is rising fast, yet calf deaths drag down cattle output. The study tracked parasite loads and deaths on dairy farms over one year.
Calves up to one year old were followed from January to December 2024. More than half of dung samples held worm eggs. Ticks infested ninety-two percent of calves checked. Deaths reached about fifteen percent, above accepted management lines. Risk ran higher in two districts, in semi-intensive systems, in the rainy season, and in larger herds. The author urges planned deworming and tick control to cut losses and protect livelihoods.
