  1. Values depict the proportion of households that consumed a particular animal source food (ASF) in the last 30 days, stratified by livestock ownership status. Only those ASF that were derived from each livestock group were compared. Proportions that differed significantly (Chi-square test) are indicated with asterisks
  2. NA not applicable (livestock group not owned/ASF not consumed or not included in questionnaire)
  3. * P < 0.1; ** P < 0.05; *** P < 0.001
