*Equines: The total is composed of figures for:
| Horses: Tape commodity code = 1096. | Tape unit of measurement = stocks (head). |
| Mules: Tape commodity code = 1110. | Tape unit of measurement = stocks (head). |
| Asses: Tape commodity code = 1107. | Tape unit of measurement = stocks (head). |
**Tropical Ruminant Livestock Unit (TRLU) is a standard unit of 250 kg of liveweight by
which ruminant livestock of different species can be compared. The conversion rates for
individual species are:
camel = 1.0, cattle = 0.7, and sheep and goats = 0.1 each.
@ @ Annual growth rates are computed by least squares regression from log transformation of the data for each year of the period.
NEGL = Negligible, ie growth rate <0.05.
For the purpose of this table camels are defined as ruminants.
A blank space means data not available.
For the definition of income groups and list of countries in each group, see Table 1 and
Annex 1.
