Meanwhile, respondents mainly preferred sheds separate from their house but in same courtyard (71%) for the livestock followed by sheds attached to the house (18%) and sheds at same courtyard and below the residential place (11%). While in the case of grazing area for livestock, respondents mainly preferred cultivated area after harvesting (69%) followed by nearby open field (23%) and park area (8%).
