“…References included in the present review also showed that livestock keeping (of some kind) (26,30,31,(34)(35)(36) or specific species (e.g. poultry (35) and dairy (173) ) are associated with better nutrition in children (26,(34)(35)(36) .…”

“…mediation analysis. Additional impact pathways of livestock keeping on children's nutritional status were through improving household food security status (34,89) , household income (30) and gender equality or women's control over resources (50) . Children from families that had co-owned or female-owned livestock (31,50) were better nutritionally compared with those from male-dominated families.…”

Associations between livestock keeping, morbidity and nutritional status of children and women in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review

Livestock keeping can positively influence nutritional status of populations and households through increased consumption of animal-source foods (ASF) and other indirect pathways, but can also adversely affect health by increasing the risk of diseases. We conducted a systematic review synthesizing the current state of knowledge on the associations between livestock keeping and infectious disease and nutritional status of under-five children and women of reproductive age in low- and lower middle-income countries (LMICs). A comprehensive search of 12 electronic databases and grey literature sources published from 1991 to the end of December 2020 was conducted. Investigations exploring relationships between livestock keeping and risk of infectious disease transmission and nutritional status were selected using pre-defined inclusion criteria. After screening and filtering of 34,402 unique references, 176 references were included in the final synthesis. Most (160/176, 90.1%) of the references included in the final synthesis were from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Asia. About two out of every five (42%) studies reviewed showed that livestock production is associated with improved height-for-age Z scores (HAZ) and weight-for-length/height Z scores (WHZ), while close to a third (30.7%) with improved weight-for-age Z scores (WAZ). Similarly, livestock production showed a positive or neutral relationship with women’s nutritional status in almost all the references that reported on the topic. Conversely, four-fifths (66/81, 79.5%) of the references reporting on infection and morbidity outcomes indicated that livestock keeping is linked to a wide range of infectious disease outcomes, which are spread primarily through water, food, and insects. In conclusion, in many LMIC settings, livestock production is associated with better nutritional outcomes but also a higher risk of disease transmission or morbidity among women and children.

“…This also coincides with our previous observation (Traoré et al 2018) in which the values of milk consumed and sold, as well as milk offtake per cow, were higher for households keeping Zebu and mixed herds compared to N'Dama and crossbred herds. In addition to the direct contribution of milk for own consumption (Yigrem et al 2015), higher milk off-take in Zebu and mixed herds might have contributed indirectly to improve food security through the increased daily cash income, which allows households to access a more diversified diet as also reported by Kidoido and Korir (2015). More milk for home consumption and increased income through the sale of animals and milk also resulted in better nutrition in households that upgraded their indigenous goats to crossbreds in the frame of the FARM Africa Goat Improvement Project (Peacock 2008).…”

Contribution of cattle of different breeds to household food security in southern Mali The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) believes that open access contributes to its mission of reducing hunger and poverty, and improving human nutrition in the tropics through research aimed at increasing the eco-efficiency of agriculture. CIAT is committed to creating and sharing knowledge and information openly and globally. We do this through collaborative research as well as through the open sharing of our data, tools, and publications.

“…7 Available evidence reports that, in Ethiopia, as in many other contexts, ASFs are often relatively expensive and not a part of a child's regular diet nor the diet of other members of the household. [8][9][10] For example, an evaluation implemented by the U.S. Agency for International Development project Alive and Thrive during the fasting season found that only 24% of children in Amhara consumed any ASF the previous day (18% dairy, 5% eggs, and 2% flesh foods). Furthermore, children in households where ASFs were available were 4.8 times more likely to consume them than children in households without ASFs.…”

Eggs are the most likely animal source foods to be purchased for children's consumption in Tigray, Ethiopia, and should be considered as a potential food source to achieve healthy, balanced diets for children.n While food sellers within rural marketplaces proved willing to test innovative marketing practices to promote the sale of eggs, households do not regularly procure eggs in local markets.n Both egg retailers and consumers indicated that households prefer to receive information about healthy food products, including eggs, from trusted community members such as religious leaders and health extension workers.
