A comparison across wealth groups across villages (Table 40) shows that a majority of livestock<br />

(mainly goats) are owned by the well-off group, followed by the middle group, and then the poor.<br />

The poor were mainly confined to keeping of smaller stock such as goats and chickens. Livestock is<br />

vital to economies of many areas in the country. Animals are a source of food, more specifically,<br />

protein for human diets and income. For low income producers, livestock can serve as store of<br />

wealth.<br />
