Abstract

Background: This study was carried out in Linguere department, Louga region of Senegal. Its objective was to explore the socio-economic factors that influence small ruminant producers' decisions on vaccination against peste des petits ruminants.

Methods: We carried out a willingness to vaccinate and willingness to pay for vaccination using a choice experiment approach with 200 small ruminant producers.

Results: Results showed that the key factors that influence willingness to vaccinate, include perceived benefits of vaccination (98, 95%CI: 96-100%), the type of vaccinator (91, 95%CI: 87-95%), the access to information (86, 95%CI: 81-91%), the vaccine availability (80, 95%CI: 74-86%), and the possession of a vaccination certificate by the producer (76, 95%CI: 70-82%). Preferences of producers leaned toward home vaccination (preference weight = 0.74, p = 1%), individual herd vaccination (preference weight = 0.45, p = 1%), elective participation to vaccination (preference weight = 0.33, p = 0.01), and low-cost services (preference weight = -0.004, p = 0.1). Producers expressed a willingness to pay for vaccination per animal of XOF 184 (USD 0.3), XOF 113 (USD 0.18), and XOF 82 (USD 0.13) for home, individual herd, and elective vaccination, respectively.

Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of targeted awareness campaigns and bringing vaccination services closer to the producers.
