Does Livestock Ownership Affect Animal Source Foods Consumption and Child Nutritional Status? : Evidence from Rural Uganda

In many developing countries consumption of animal source foods (ASF) among the poor is still at a level where increasing its share in total caloric intake may have many positive nutritional benefits. This paper explores whether ownership of different livestock species increases consumption of ASF a...
