Abstract
Factors including geographical territory, farm household typologies, farm organization type,
mountain ecology, proximity to rangelands, and distance to livestock markets were
considered for the determination of the villages for the formal socioeconomic survey.
Lists of households, obtained from administrations in the selected villages, indicated that not
all households keep small ruminants. To ensure that the eventual number of the filled
questionnaires is not dramatically lower than the initially targeted 150 households at each site,
the random sampling was conducted only from households keeping sheep and/or goats.
Researchers collected the information on the livestock kept by the households from the local
administration of districts/villages prior to conducting the survey.
Household questionnaire was adapted and tested for local conditions by May 2008.
Enumerators and researchers were trained by May 2008 (see Table1). Survey was conducted
from June to August 2008.
