UGANDA OVER VIEW

Uganda the Pearl of Africa, a country with fantastic natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you will be captivated by its beauty, safety and accessibility. Half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population is in Uganda.

Geography:
Uganda is bordered by South Sudan to the North, Kenya to the East, Congo to the West, and Tanzania and Rwanda to the South.

Livestock:

Livestock represents an essential part of Uganda’s agriculture, culture, and economy. The total number of cattle, sheep, and goats more than doubled between 2002 and 2008, and the number of pigs and chickens grew by 88 and 59 percent, respectively. Beef and milk production both increased by 8 percent in 2008 alone. Livestock are particularly important to the subsistence agriculture on which seven out of ten Ugandans rely for their livelihood.

While income from livestock provides only one of many sources of income for rural households, people typically rank livestock as their second or third most important means of livelihood. It is not surprising then that over 70 percent of all households in Uganda owned livestock in 2008. Indeed, smallholders and pastoralists dominate the livestock sector. Farming households with mixed crop and livestock production and pastoralists together own 90 percent of Uganda’s cattle and almost all of the country’s poultry, pigs, sheep, and goats. Uganda’s poultry products especially eggs and chicken are on high demand in neighbouring countries like South Sudan, DR Congo and Rwanda.

Livestock Statistics:

According to National Livestock Census 2008. Poultry Population is 37.4 million, Cattle population 11.4 million, Goats 12.5 million, sheep 3.4 million, Pigs 3.2 million and 1.6 million Dogs. Poultry numbers in 2008 were 37.4 M and in 2009 they rose to 38.6 M million while in 2010 they were 39.7 M million birds.
