It was also approved by the Animal Resources Department of the Rwanda Agriculture Board (N°01.11/004FMD/017/CK/HoD-ARD). Before sample collection in each farm, respondents were explained that the study had no other intention other than research and they were verbally asked if they consent to sample collection from their animals. The verbal consent was preferred and approved over the written consent due to some respondents who would not be able to read the declaration. The verbal consent reception was testified by a third independent party in the person of the Sector Veterinary Officer present during the sample collection. All procedures in this study were conducted in accordance with the ARRIVE guidelines.
