3.5. Price of livestock and livestock products
To get an idea of the trend in price of livestock and livestock products a woman of village Bagulakhali was encountered. She tried to compare the current situation with the situation 25-30 years ago when she came her father-in-law’s village (Bagulakhali) just married. Table 2 exemplifies the changes that had taken place in other three villages too. It also gives an idea about the trend in livestock number, and livestock death due to diseases for the village Bagulakhali. Price of some of the livestock and birds and their products as prevalent across the villages at the time of study (2004) is also given in Table 3.
