Why was the colonial government interested in knowing the number of pastoralists' animals?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To assess tax per animal and regulate pastoralists' movements

The colonial government counted pastoral animals mainly to levy taxes, including taxes linked to the number of animals, and to regulate the use of grazing lands and pastoral movement. Providing free veterinary care or improving breeds was not the main colonial purpose. Exam tip: In colonial history, record-keeping and counting are often linked with revenue collection and control.
