1.0 Introduction

Livestock is an umbrella term used for domesticated animals raised in an agricultural environment, with the intention of providing some various needs (food, manure and labor, income, mohair and wool) to their owners. Most common livestock in Lesotho are cattle, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, and poultry. Other animals are also kept as pets, namely; cats while dogs are reared for security. Horses and Donkeys are widely used as transport.

There are different reasons for rearing livestock. Other animals, however, are reared solely for food; most notably pigs which are primarily kept for its meat. Sheep for example, provide wool and skins while goats provide mohair and hides. Cattle provide physical labor as draught animals in addition to being a source of food. Most livestock also produce plentiful amounts of manure, in the form of excrement, thus helping out in the farm fields as well as gardens of farming households.

1.1 Background

Bureau of Statistics conducts annual Agricultural Production Survey (APS), which started in 1973/1974 and provides agricultural statistics for agricultural variables that are subject to frequent and seasonal changes. The Agricultural Year is divided into two periods (summer and winter). Summer season starts from the 01st August to 31st January whereas winter season starts on 01st February to 31st July. The 2012/2013 livestock report has been prepared to give livestock inventories and their stock changes. The report also provides livestock demographic characteristics.

2.0 Methodology

This chapter is presented in two sections; sampling methods and data collection. The report uses primary data which is dependent on owner`s discretion or honesty to provide accurate and relevant information.

2.1 Sampling Method

A stratified multi-stage sampling scheme was adopted for the selection of the sample for 2012/2013 Agricultural Year. Two or more enumeration areas were combined to constitute Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) and agricultural households (farming households) constituted Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs). APS covered 120 PSUs in rural areas where each PSU covered an average of 20 households which were selected through systematic sampling. The PSUs have been selected with Probability Proportional to Size (PPS), where the Measure of Size (MOS) being number of households obtained from the 2006 Population and Housing Census.

Page 7: LESOTHO LIVESTOCK REPORT 2012/2013

The agricultural holdings which keep livestock must meet one or more of the following conditions:

(i) Rearing one or more cattle, (ii) Rearing at least one goat or sheep, (iii) Fifty improved chicken, (iv) One improved pig

2.2 Data Collection

Data was mainly collected through face-to-face interview using questionnaires. The survey was conducted by Field Assistants who are posted in selected PSUs under the supervision of Field Officers and Senior Field Officers. The enumerators are encouraged and advised, if possible, to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to do the counting together with stock owners while the stocks are present in their kraals and shelters. Only livestock found in household’s possession including those at the cattle posts during enumeration were recorded, and those that were mafisad1-out were not included as they were enumerated as mafisad-in with other households.

1 Mafisad-in/out is when livestock is fully possessed and managed by a household which does not own it or vice versa. Note that it does not necessarily mean an increase in some cases in livestock but only migration/ movement within PSUs or districts and/or country from one household to the other.

3.0 Cattle Inventory

The chapter consists of cattle distribution and the purpose for which they were kept, as well as mortality and their stock change. Cattle are kept for meat (beef), milk production and as draught animals (oxen). Other products include skin and dung which can be used for manure or fuel. Calves are cattle aged less than 2 years, Bulls and Cows are male and female cattle aged 2 years and above.

3.1 Cattle Distribution

The section covers cattle distribution by age and district. Table 3.1 shows number of cattle by district and age in 2012/2013 Agricultural Year. The table shows that there were 548,042 cattle out of which 74.7 percent were aged 2 years and above, 14.7 percent were aged 1 year and 10.6 percent aged less than 1 year. It is also shown that Maseru had the highest number of cattle (108,065) while Qacha’s Nek had the least (20,892). Table 3.1: Number of Cattle by Age and District, 2012/2013 Agricultural Year

3.2 Purpose of Keeping Cattle

The section gives information on the purpose for which cattle are reared; Oxen are kept for Draught and Meat only while cows are for Draught, Meat, Milk and “Draught & Milk”. Table 3.2 presents percentage distribution of cattle by their purpose. It is observed that most Cows were mainly reared for “Draught and Milk” (96.1 percent). Out of the total number of Oxen (109,181), 98.1 percent were reared mainly for Draught while 1.9 percent for Meat production. The number of Bulls were 37,710 (Annex, Table 2).

From 2008/2009 to 2009/2010 the number of cattle increased by 1.9 percent and in 2010/2011 the number further increased by 5.9 percent from the previous year. In 2011/2012 the number decreased by 13.0 percent and a further decline of 5 percent was experienced in 2012/2013 Agricultural Year.

3.4 Stock Change

Section 3.4 covers change in stock of cattle. The increases are composed of; purchases of stock, newly born, lobola2-in and mafisa-in while decreases mostly entail: deaths due to diseases or other causes, theft, slaughtering, sales, mafisa-out and lobola out. Stock change data is collected twice in a year, the first in February (summer) to track changes in livestock from 1st August to 31st January and another one in July (winter) to track changes from 1st February to 31st July. At the beginning of August, there were 541,094 cattle and the number increased by 1.3 percent at the end of July to 548,042.
