These average numbers in Table 2 differ from those reported in the Results section because those in Table 2 include households that did not consume chicken products, treating their consumption as 0 in the calculation. In contrast, the averages in the Result section exclude such households, as noted.
Survey weighting was conducted using district level population data. The design weight for each participating household was the inverse of their probability of selection in the corresponding district.
Children under 5 years of age.
Chickens specifically bred to provide meat.
Local chickens, native to Mozambique.
