1. Introduction
• Agriculture important contributor to rapid growth during 2004-2015o Accounted for 45% of GDP and 30.5% of growth in GDP o Crop output accounted for 31% of GDP and livestock for 10%

2. Livestock production and productivity
Livestock number• Livestock means of animal-sourced food (ASF) production and are
end-products• Cattle largest in number & on average grew at 3.8% during 2004-2015o Growth averaged 4.6% in sheep and 5.6% or higher in others
• Livestock deaths significant and adversely affect productivityo Over 3 million cattle, sheep, & goats lost to death annually since 2005
• Deaths as % of stock declined, e.g. cattle 16%
Live animal marketing• Number sold for off-farm slaughter, net commercial off-take (NCOT),
doubled in cattle, grew at 56% in sheep and at 131% in goats
• NCOT rate (NCOT/average stock) grew in all animals except poultry

Animal-sourced food (ASF) production and productivity• ASF output grew considerablyo Egg output grew by 93% and milk output by 41% during 2005/06 – 2015/16
• Productivity (output per animal) stagnated

Growth accounting analyses of the livestock subsector• Labor & livestock most important, accounted for ¾ of output growth • Modern inputs contributed only 11% to livestock output growth

3. Input use and intensification
Livestock feed• Green fodder (grazing) important but the share of users declining• Lower share use improved feed but share doubledo Purchased, particularly Improved feed, increasing in importance

Livestock extension• Dairy, meat, & poultry extension users increased by 28%, 11%, & 37%• Share of extension users stagnant & considerably lower in livestock

Veterinary services• Share of vaccinated cattle, sheep, & goats more than doubled• Share afflicted with diseases declined in goats and grew slightly in
cattle and sheep (excluding 2008 it declined in all 3)• Animals treated for diseases grew by 63% in cattle, & by over 114%
in sheep & goats

Dairy processing and livestock breed composition• Dairy processors more than tripled & processed milk output grew 93%
• Share of cross-bred cows and poultry low but grew 130% & 90%

4. Conclusions
• Livestock contributed little to GDP & importance declined
• Rapid growth in ASF output but productivity stagnant
• Modern inputs contributed little to output growth
• Improved feed & cross-bred livestock low but increasing in importance
• Livestock extension users low and stagnant
• Vaccination and treatment of sick livestock increased considerably while share afflicted with diseases overall declined
• Demand and supply side factors indicate considerable potential
1. Spending on ASF as well as livestock exports grew
o Further increase in spending expected with growth in income
2. Use levels of modern inputs low
3. Large and fast growing animal stocks but predominantly low-yielding breeds
