5.4.2 Sale of animals and animal products
Table 5.8, panel a provides the number of animals sold in the year preceding the interview of the NRVA survey. In addition, panel b shows the amount of animal products sold in the same period. Table 5.8: Number of livestock and animal products sold in the year prior to the NRVA 2011-12 survey, by animal type in thousands and type of product in thousands Animal type Animals Animal products Amount Unit Cattle 441 Milk 123,268 Liters Oxen, yaks 65 Meat from cattle, goats, sheep, etc. 10,300 Kgs. Horses 23 Meat from poultry 326 Kgs. Donkeys 111 Wool, cashmere 12,727 Kgs. Camels 67 Furs, skin, hides 1,573 Pieces Goats 2,891 Eggs 64,142 Number Sheep 4,879 Chickens 1,382 Other poultry 1835.4.3 Livestock production factors
Various services are offered to livestock owners to improve the condition of their animals. These services include access to feed concentrate, vaccination, veterinary services, credit, marketing and advise on feeding, breeding and management of animals. NRVA 2011-12 included information about some of these components. Just over half of livestock owners 53 percent reported that they had access to animal concentrate. For Kuchi livestock owners, this is only 35 percent. Table 5.9 indicates the share of owners of speciic livestock types that had vaccinated at least some of their animals in the year preceding the survey interview. Vaccination coverage seems relatively high, especially for poultry owners, but less so for owners of small ruminants. Table 5.9: Livestock owners that had vaccinated at least part of their livestock, by type of livestock owned percentages Owner of animal type Any animal vaccinated Cattle 83.0 Sheep 71.6 Goats 72.6 Poultry 90.6 Around one in ive livestock owners 21 percent obtained veterinary help, livestock medicine or information about livestock in the year preceding the survey. This percentage ranged from less than one percent in Nooristan, Helmand and Urozgan to over 40 percent in Bamyan, Faryab, Ghazni and Badghis. Figure 5.7, panel a shows the distribution of the service providers to the 21 percent of livestock owners that obtained any service in the past year. Panel b shows the main reason for not obtaining veterinary services. The private sector dominates veterinary service provision with two- thirds of service consults by livestock owners. With regard to reasons not to obtain services, more than half 52 percent involve voluntary reasons, whereas service access was impeded mainly because of refusal by the service provider, lack of knowledge how to access a provider or distance. Financial reasons seem to be of minor importance.Parts
