Formal surveys were carried out in two communal areas in Zimbabwe. In the dry south-east lowlands, 72 percent of farmers owned at least one species of livestock, while in the better endowed central area 84 percent owned animals. More than 25 percent of farmers in both areas owned two or more spec...
