For families living in extreme poverty, keeping farmyard animals can be the first step out of poverty.

Common farm animals like cows, chickens and goats can all provide vital resources like milk and manure, which can be sold for money and keep families healthy, too. It just takes some training and support to help families living in extreme poverty to turn livestock into livelihoods.

But how much do you really know about them?

Take our farmyard quiz to test your knowledge of life-changing livestock:
