Electronic data collection to enhance disease surveillance at the slaughterhouse in a smallholder production system

Abstract Globally, meat inspection provides data for animal health surveillance. However, paper-based recording of data is often not reported through to higher authorities in sufficient detail. We trialled the use of an electronic meat inspection form in Kenyan slaughterhouses, in lieu of the curren...
