ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This report is based on a consultancy work conducted by the authors on behalf of the FAO LinKS Project in Tanzania.

We are greatly thankful to the Kibaha District livestock office and the village authorities of Magingu, Gumba, Kwala and Dutumi villages for the good cooperation shown during the study. The views expressed in this report are the authors' responsibility and not that of FAO LinKS. The authors lastly acknowledge fellow members of the Directorate of Animal Production in the Ministry of Water and Livestock Development for their constructive comments on the earlier draft report.
