The analysis specially focuses on dry land regions with a case study of Saurashtra region in Gujarat. The specific objectives are to examine: (a) distribution of livestock population across states and households and discern the changes over time; (b) incidence of livestock ownership across different categories of households in the study region and factors influencing that; and (c) implications for promoting livelihood security through a stronger interface between livestock and agriculture. The analysis is based on secondary as well as primary data collected from a household survey covering six villages in Saurashtra region, in Gujarat, India.
