Short description

For farm households, livestock is a source of nutrition, cash income and of agricultural inputs in the forms of power for land preparation and hauling, particularly for large animals such as buffaloes and oxen, and of fertilizer. Thus, livestock is a very important economic asset of farm population. This is especially true for Lao PDR (hereafter, Laos, for convenience), where a relatively large proportion of the population, approximately 77% of all households, still rely on livestock for food security, cash income and farm inputs.1 About one third of agricultural annual output comes from livestock and fisheries. More than 95% of livestock in Laos was raised by smallholder farmers, and it is responsible for more than 50% of household's total cash incomes in many parts of the country's upland areas (Gansberghe, 2005). In many parts of the country's rural areas, where bank service outreach is either completely absent or irregular, livestock is a form of savings to provide a financial insurance.
