“…In Malian household flocks, 36% of birds are reported as older than 6 months (Molia et al 2015 ), which is the age of reproductive maturity. Although our study did not collect data on flock age structure, applying this value to our average flock of eight birds would provide a similar estimate of productivity.…”

Urban livestock keeping is increasing in many sub-Saharan African cities, but detailed contextual information on its extent, challenges, and potential is limited. A cross-sectional household study was done in 2010 in Bamako, Mali. Thirty-two of 67 quarters were randomly selected with selection probability proportional to the size of the human population of the communes. Questionnaire interviews were done with a head of household in 1141 households, comprising 19,816 people in total. Sheep were kept by 16% (95% CI 14-18), while 21% (95% CI 17-24) kept poultry. The sheep to human ratio was 4:100, with an extrapolated city-wide population of 67,636 sheep (95% CI 61,018-75,595). The poultry to human ratio was 11:100, with an extrapolated city-wide population of 191,802 chickens (95% CI 176,212-208,772). For urban livestock holders, household-level enterprise gross margins were calculated for sheep production at USD 103 and poultry production at USD 50 annually. The annual gross margin was estimated at USD 35 per sheep and USD 17 per chicken. Based on these figures, the city-wide urban livestock total gross margin for Bamako in 2010 was estimated at USD 5.6 million. Detailed population data help clarify the urban livestock animal human interface in diverse contexts and highlight the important contributions that urban small-holder production adds to food security and resilience. The potential for urban livestock production informs decision-makers in developing adapted, sustainable policies in resource-constrained environments.

“…Survival to maturity is estimated at 18%. Fifty percent of surveyed flocks in Malian villages are vaccinated against Newcastle disease (Molia et al 2015 ), so this was included as variable cost. Other costs were negligible as flocks are fed on household refuse without additional purchased feed.…”

Sota communities mostly depend on local agricultural income. The purpose of this research is to know the role of business in the field of livestock to social level (welfare) in Sota District community in environmentally border area. The method used is a survey using questionnaires to 90 respondents selected by purposive random sampling on people who work as farmers and breeders. Primary and secondary data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the characteristics of livestock farmers belong to the age of productive, and experienced in the field of animal husbandry business. Average income of chicken breeders 156.000 IDR per month, besides the type of chicken farming business is highest in cultivated by local people tribe "Kanume". Various factors of constraints in livestock business in the border region is an environmental factor that gives the effect of lowering the interest of raising chickens due to the emergence of the type of disease. But in general livestock business has a positive impact to improve the economy of border communities.

“…This practice was reported in 19.8% of household poultry farmers surveyed in Mali (Molia et al, 2015). Personal communications with veterinary doctors revealed that animal health professionals are contacted in situations where poultry farmers could not manage on their own or when a large proportion of birds die.…”
