Some references are made to the contribution of small scale farms. The reference date for livestock population is 1 stOctober 2003. All the other variables collected are for a period of a year prior to the reference date. Population <strong>and</strong> growthrate trends are presented for the Mainl<strong>and</strong> only due to lack of comparative historical figures for Zanzibar.

Hence it may be assumed that the trends presentedfor the Mainl<strong>and</strong> are the same as the national trends.Chart 2.129: Head of Livestock by TypeChicken,456,638, 74%Chart 2.130: Number of <strong>Large</strong> <strong>Scale</strong> <strong>Farm</strong>s keeping Livestockby TypeCattle, 643, 35%Pigs, 10,050,2%Sheep, 12,230,2%Goats, 22,624,4%Cattle, 110,594,18%Chicken, 451,24%Pigs, 151, 8%Sheep, 205, 11%Goats, 413, 22%Tanzania <strong>Agriculture</strong> Sample Census – 2003
