The study is based on a cross sectional survey of 125 small-scale cattle farmers in the Venda region of the Northern Province. Empirical multivariate and the logistic regression analysis show that liquidity, human resource,satisfaction with the programme and structure of production significantly influences farmers' willingness-to-pay. However, the most important factor influencing both the willingness-to-pay and the dipping frequency is liquidity (employment). The results of this study have important implications for the delivery of veterinary services particularly in developing regions.613596 bytesapplication/pdfenAEASADeveloping regionsLiquidity and employmentVeterinary service providersLivestock -- Ticks -- ControlTicks -- Control -- Socio-economic impactArticle
