The ratio of feral:owned domestic dogs was calculated separately for each transect area by dividing the number of marked dogs by the overall (marked and unmarked) population of dogs.
Using the estimate of 0.7 for annual survival the number of marked dogs estimated to be alive in the city was 19,137 representing 77% of the total number of roaming dogs, giving a point estimate of 24,853 roaming dogs.
Young dogs, particularly those below one year old, are likely to have a lower survival than dogs over one year old and hence the estimate for the number of surviving marked dogs may be overestimated.
While marked dogs were all vaccinated and owned, the population of unmarked dogs consisted of (i) owned, but non-vaccinated dogs, (ii) owned and vaccinated dogs that had lost the collar and (iii) truly feral dogs, i.e. dogs that were neither owned nor actively fed or sheltered by individuals or the community.
