HFE (altered in Type 1 HH), HJV (altered in Type 2 A HH), and TFR2 (altered in Type 3 HH) regulates the synthesis/activity of hepcidin.
Accordingly, 49 HHs from Dharito, 45 HHs from Elwaye, and 62 HHs from Surupha kebeles were selected.
Together, the 10 HHs forming the Lh stratum possessed 55.5% of the 50 HHs' total livestock in August 2013, whereas the 27 HHs (60%) of the Sh stratum possessed 22.7% of the total livestock.
A total of 100 pastoral HHs were selected from the two sample woredas, i.e., 25 HHs per kebele.
These were: At the time of study, Torguud (11 HHs) settled in AH, Uriankhai in HS and DT (5 and 14 HHs, respectively) and all three groups (38 HHs altogether) were found in TN.

The total loss of 3782 goats in 2009/10 was higher than the total number of sheep and goats possessed by the 50 HHs in August 2013 and accounted for 67.3% of livestock losses across the 50 HHs in this dzud.
The losses caused by the dzud in 2009/10 were higher (Table 2), totalling 5619 head for the 50 HHs and ranging from 1 to 385 head per HH (112 ± 14.5, median: 95).

A total of 866 children under the age of five years residing in 650 HHs were enrolled in the study.
