Research Strategy
As well as using a questionnaire approach opportunities would be taken to make
quantitative measurements of milk offtakes in a sample of cows.
One of the objectives of the survey was to help to determine the types of research studies
that might be possible in the future. The results from this initial survey
indicated that the Orma people had good knowledge of the different diseases that
affected their cattle and the treatment of them. The research strategy thus
developed into a more thorough investigation which used participatory methods to
determine the views of the Orma people on the importance of trypanosomosis and
its control. This latter study is summarised briefly at the end of this case
study.
