A study to identify the various types of pesticides used on farm animals in Ghana for the control of ectoparasites was conducted in 1989. Eleven organisations involved with pesticide use were questioned. Thirty organised farms and 110 kraals distributed throughout the 10 regions of Ghana were visited. Twenty different pesticides were in use. Of these 45% were organophosphates, 30% were synthetic pyrethroids, 15% were carbamates and 10% organochlorines. The most widely distributed and used pesticide was an organochlorine (lindane), which accounted for 35% of those used on farms and 85% used by herdsmen. The most popular mode of application was by hand dressing. No withdrawal periods before slaughter or sale of milk for consumption were practised. The implications of these findings in the light of possible emergence of pesticide resistance and health hazards are discussed.
1989年开展了一项研究，以确定加纳用于农场动物体外寄生虫防治的各类杀虫剂。研究人员询问了11个涉及杀虫剂使用的组织。走访了分布在加纳10个地区的30个规模化养殖场和110个畜栏。共使用了20种不同的杀虫剂。其中，45%为有机磷类，30%为拟除虫菊酯类，15%为氨基甲酸酯类，10%为有机氯类。分布最广、使用最多的杀虫剂是一种有机氯（林丹），占农场使用量的35%，牧民使用量的85%。最常见的施用方式是手工涂抹。对于屠宰前或供消费的牛奶销售前未规定停药期。根据可能出现的抗药性和健康危害对这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论。
