Trypanocide usage within livestock breeds of Uganda

The script supports Chapter 4 Subsection 3 titled: “Trypanocide overdosing in livestock breeds” from my PhD thesis titled: Exploring trypanocide resistance: Lessons from Uganda (2024). This describes data (referenced as “Econ”) where the value for money is assessed in the community is presented. Responses are from 557 farmers who have been associated with heavy trypanocide consumption in southwestern Uganda. The loss expenditure frontier curve (LEF) models livestock losses and income per head among cattle and small ruminants in the study area. Weight estimates are applied on all livestock to quantify the effective dose (i.e., the amount of drug administered per animal) based on the number of sachets consumed per farmer. The net income adjusted herd size ratio (NIAHSR) measured money gained while the expenditure income adjusted herd size ratio (EIRAHS) was the proportion of money earned, that is spent on each livestock as a measure of money lost per animal.
