Livestock keeping has also become a common poverty reduction tool (Owen et al, 2005;Perry & Grace, 2009).…”

Specifically, livestock can provide a regular supply of food, which can either be consumed by the household or sold to generate regular income or occasional cash (Bettencourt et al, 2015;FAO, 2016;Owen et al, 2005;Randolph et al, 2007).…”
