Abstract:Primary livestock data collection methods can be classified into the following categories: (1) informal data collection methods (participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and rapid rural appraisal (RRA)); (2) formal data collection (cross-sectional and longitudinal); and (3) combination of informal and formal data collection methods. This chapter explains those methods and details some problems of sampling for the different methods.
