In Gambia, the livestock sector is heavily influenced by the humid tropical climate, which creates a breeding ground for various pathogens. Farmers often struggle with high mortality rates in poultry due to the lack of stable access to high-quality veterinary medicine for poultry, making the industry vulnerable to seasonal disease outbreaks.
The prevalence of waterborne diseases and parasitic infections necessitates the rigorous use of veterinary disinfectant to maintain sanitary conditions in small-scale and commercial farms. However, the inconsistent supply chain often leads to the use of substandard products, hindering the overall productivity of the Gambian agricultural economy.
Economic constraints and a reliance on traditional farming methods mean that the demand for cost-effective and easy-to-administer treatments, such as veterinary tablets, is increasing. There is a critical need for stable, heat-resistant pharmaceuticals that can withstand the local logistics infrastructure.
