Abstract
Rangeland in Uganda covers an estimated area of 84,000
Km2. This is about 44 per cent of the country’s land mass
commonly known as the cattle corridor. It’s stretching
from the south through the central region to the northeastern
part of Uganda (Figure 1). Pastoral and agropastoral
communities are inhabiting the cattle corridor.
Livestock accounts for 3.2 per cent of gross domestic
product, 70 per cent of employment generated by the
agricultural sector (IGAD, 2013) and accounts for onethird
of the total value of agricultural output.
