This is a 5-digit variable that represents the number of poultry owned by the household, except for the following codes:
99990 = Logical edit - missing
99996 = Not interviewed (household questionnaire)
99997 = Don't know
99998 = No response
99999 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
POULTRYNUM reports the total number of poultry owned by the household.
Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from POULTRYHOME, which reports the total number of poultry on the household's homestead, regardless of who owns them.
While POULTRYNUM asks about poultry in general, other variables in IPUMS-PMA ask about ownership of specific types of poultry (see CHICKENNUM and DUCKNUM).
Enumerators were instructed to code "Don't know" or "No response" cases as -88 and -99, respectively. However, in some samples, a select number of enumerators recorded an unexpectedly high number of 88 and 99 values for livestock variables. We believe the majority of these cases were intended to represent "don't know" and "no responses" instead of indicating a number of livestock. IPUMS has recoded these cases to "Logical edit - missing".
The question associated with this variable was included in the household questionnaire.
