Caption. The chi-square with Yates correction, cattle to goat: Chi-square = 34.9763. p < 0.00001. Highly significant at p < 0.01; Cattle to sheep: Chi-square = 5.4776. p-value = 0.019262. Significant at p < 0.05.; Cattle to goat + sheep: Chi-square = 37.943. p < 0.00001. Highly significant at p < 0.01; Goat to sheep: not significant p > 0.6; Comparison of districts close to Rwanda andthose further away (in this case Kabale, versus Rubirizi) in the south western region: Chi-square = 27.5106. p < .00001. Highly Significant at p < 0.01.)
