Significant explanatory variables from the final Zero-truncated Negative Binomial regression (ZTNB) model that estimated the volume of traded livestock movements between location (village/town) pairs.

Variable	Estimate (95% CI)	Ratio (95% CI)	p value
Pairwise distance between origin and destination	−0.95 (− 1.13 to 0.77)	0.39 (0.32–0.46)	< 10^ −  9
Livestock population size at destination	0.24 (0.15, 0.32)	1.27 (1.16–1.38)	< 10^ −  6
Market presence at destination (Yes vs No)	1.06 (0.92, 1.21)	2.89 (2.51–3.35)	< 10^ −  9
Urban destination (Yes vs No)	0.67 (0.60, 0.74)	1.95 (1.82–2.10)	< 10^ −  9
Human population at destination	0.54 (0.32, 0.76)	1.71 (1.37–2.14)	< 10^ −  4
Pairwise distance: urban destination compared to rural	−  0.17 (− 0.23 to 0.11)	0.84 (0.79–0.89)	< 10^ −  5

All continuous variables were scaled to mean zero and one standard deviation. CI denotes Confidence Interval.
