Economic activities in livestock in mixed production systems in the developing world are predominantly undertaken by smallholders, making a living out of small farms <2 hectares per farm. These small farms account for a significantly larger share of meat and milk outputs in developing countries, and contribute significantly to rural (self-)employment given the labour intensity of smallholder production systems. Projections indi cate that small farms will continue to be a prominent feature in rural areas in the next decades. Informal market chains for are the main link between rural smallholder keepers of livestock and the growing demand for meat and dairy products, both in the major urban centres and smaller rural towns. Informal markets handle a far large share of market output than the formal market chains that linked with supermarkets and other outlets of higher-end meat and milk products. They generate more employm ent per unit of output as well as in the aggregate along the processing and distribution chain, as compared to their more capitalintensive formal market chain counterparts.
