The challenge
Overcoming Tick Resistance & Toxic Runoff in East Africa
Synthetic chemical acaricides are failing livestock owners across East Africa. Years of continuous chemical dipping have led to widespread tick resistance, elevated chemical residues in meat and milk, and severe toxic contamination of local rivers and pasture ecosystems. verify and add a source
