Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Column E1: Ownership of Livestock</span></p>

<p>Does any member of this household own:</p>
<div class="i1">1 Cattle<br />2 Goats<br />4 Sheep<br />8 Pigs<br />16 Poultry<br />32 Donkeys/Horses</div><p>Circle the appropriate answer code(s), if any member of the household owns any of the above listed livestock.</p>

<p>If none of the above applies, write 0 in the space below the response codes, but not in the shaded area. For example, if a household owns three goats and a few chickens you would put a ring around 2 (goats) and around 16 (poultry).</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p.46]</span></p>

<p>In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 133, James owns some cattle, Thembe owns some goats and Lorato owns some poultry in Botswana. Since Thembe is only a visitor, the fact that she owns goats is not recorded in column E1. However, Lorato is a household member, and, since she owns poultry in Botswana, the code 16 is circled. Code 1 is also circled since James owns cattle.
