Eco-friendly livestock management practices have gained attention for their potential to improve health outcomes in urban slums, particularly those with high population density and limited resources. This ethnographic study employed participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions to gather data from 120 participants in the urban slums of Lagos, Nigeria. Eco-friendly livestock management practices were adopted by 45% of surveyed households, with a notable trend towards increased adoption observed over time (from 38% in year one to 52% in year five). While eco-friendly livestock management showed promise for improving health outcomes, the study highlighted significant barriers and challenges that need further exploration. Policy makers should consider implementing targeted interventions to support the adoption of these practices among urban slum residents.
