Users <strong>of</strong> veter<strong>in</strong>arians’ services had significantly higher numbers <strong>of</strong> animals than users<br />

<strong>of</strong> other health delivery channels, for all types <strong>of</strong> livestock. This f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g was observed for all<br />

years from the onset <strong>of</strong> restructur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> animal health services <strong>in</strong> Kenya <strong>in</strong> 1991. Yet between<br />

1992 and 2001 the number <strong>of</strong> cattle owned fell for all users <strong>of</strong> health service delivery<br />

channels. It decl<strong>in</strong>ed by 19.5 percent for CBAHW users, by 15.9 percent for veter<strong>in</strong>ary<br />

personnel users, by 37.7 percent for drug shop users, and by 32.8 percent for mixeed service<br />

users.<br />
