Distances travelled by the cattle herds during transhumance in Central Cameroon (October 2014–May 2015)
| Herd/Collar number | Total distance covered (km) | Median distance per day (km) | Shortest distance between origin and destination (Km) | Transhumance duration (weeks) | Final num. Transhumance destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1299 | 746 | 4.14 (SD 2.21) | 170.9 | 26 | Centre Region |
| 1300 | 730 | 3.32 (SD1.74) | 53.3 | 32 | North Region |
| 1301 | 763 | 3.97 (SD 2.03) | 154.0 | 29 | East Region |
| 1302 | 633 | 3.23 ( SD2.01) | 172.7 | 28 | Centre Region |
| 1305 | 649 | 3.55 (SD 1.91) | 115.5 | 27 | East Region |
| 1308 | 726 | 3.63 (SD 1.56) | 157.1 | 29 | Centre Region |
The total distance covered during the entire period of observation, the median distance travelled per day (standard deviation in brackets) and the distance between the two most far apart locations are all reported in kilometers. The duration of the transhumance, in weeks, is estimated from the week the herds left the grazing location in the Adamawa Region until the week they returned to same location
