Livestock sector between pushing and pulling factors-evolving scenario for national livestock development

AbstractThis paper discusses results, justifications and definitions of research and extension in tropical animal production. The emphasis is on the applicability of new technologies and the interaction between research and extension. A description is given of the participants, the farming systems and of the research-extension interaction with attention to the fact that much extension is technology driven rather than problem orientated. Special issues in the livestock sector are highlighted. The diversity of farming systems implies that generalized solutions are hard to find because of technical and institutional problems. A globally decreasing resource-base implies that solutions are to be found in making the system more efficient rather than in relying on ever-increasing use of inputs though inputs per se are still important. Some research results are listed and case studies illustrate how the resource-base affects the applicability of extension messages that originate from research. The use of models is advocated to determine priorities for research or extension. Failures to find quick field applications should lead to mobilization of existing information as well as to a reorientation, improved quality and better interaction of research and extension.

Livestock Development

The livestock sector is expected to make a real contribution to the development of the nation's economy. Livestock development is also directed at increasing the quality of production, increasing income, expanding employment opportunities and providing business opportunities for people in rural areas. Layer are one of the poultry commodities that have an important role as egg producers to support the availability of cheap and easy to obtain animal protein. The population of layer in Pati Regency in 2018 was 265,020 birds (BPS, 2020). Layer are increasingly in demand in the village of Tegalharjo as a profitable poultry business opportunity. Many breeders choose the business of layer as a side business or as their main income. The objectives of this study are 1). To determine the business income of layer, 2) To determine the business feasibility of layer, 3) To determine the effect of pullets, feed costs, medicines and labor on the income of layer. The research material was in the form of layer in Tegalharjo Village, Trangkil District, Pati Regency. Data collection for 3 months (March - May). The results of the research on layer in the village of Tegalharjo are feasible to work with an income of IDR 11,784,946.17 / ST / period and simultaneously there is an effect of the cost of pullets (X1), feed (X2), medicines (X3) and labor ( X4) to income.

Livestock Development

AbstractThe study assessed the contributions of stakeholders to livestock development through provision of infrastructure to rural areas of Delta State, Nigeria. The objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of respondents, appraise the role of external stakeholders in livestock development, verify any existing relationship between livestock development and rural development indicators and identify the challenges faced by respondents. A purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the three major towns and 180 respondents. Data were collected by questionnaire and subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. Result obtained showed that majority of the respondents were males (68.3%) with higher national diplomat (HND)/First degree (33.3%) and have a mean age of 42 years. The first four highest external stakeholders were skills training and entrepreneurship programme (94%), youth agricultural entrepreneurs programme (90.6%), job creation agency (89.4%) and FADAMA (80.0%) that promoted livestock development. A significant relationship was observed based on infrastructural contributions to livestock development (p < 0.05) among the variables: market, water project, market and roads. Serious challenges included high cost of feed facilities (mean = 3.69) and insufficient power supply (mean = 3.49). The study concluded that the more available the rural infrastructure intervention, the more developed the livestock sector. The study recommended that stakeholders should make their extension agent available to livestock farmers.

Livestock Development

Continuity of meat supply availability is generally related to the number and production of livestock in a region. Therefore, a framework of sustainable livestock development is needed to increase the production and productivity of livestock. Blora Regency is one of the areas in the Province of Central Java with the largest number of large livestock, primarily beef cattle. Blora Regency has a population of 199.584 beef cattle. Agricultural waste results in Blora Regency can be used as supporting the availability of feed for livestock sector. This is supported by the availability of forage feed which is very abundant.Based on these potentials, it is necessary to assess the characteristics of natural land for the development of beef cattle farms. Therefore, the objectives of this study are (1) to assess the environmental suitability of the environment for the development of cattle ranching that is grazed and stacked; (2) to analyze the potential of forage source of fodder and bearing capacity for beef cattle farming; (3) to analyze the centers of activity of development of beef cattle; (4) to prepare direction and strategy of beef cattle development in Blora Regency.

Livestock Development

AbstractThe seminar, the aim of which was to develop policy recommendations to improve the livestock sector in eastern and southern Africa, was held from 28 July to 1 August 1997 in Mbabane, Swaziland. All countries were represented and a wide range of topics were discussed. These included livestock development in Africa, relative to the rest of the world, and meeting the food security needs of each country, for which production must increase at 4% per annum, rather than 2% as at present.Topics considered included: constraints to livestock development, current status, global and African trends in the livestock sector, human resource needs, animal genetic resources, animal health constraints, data and information, research and extension, private sector contribution, participation and contribution by donors or international organizations and interactions between livestock, environment and wildlife.Recommendations were made on: livestock, environment and wildlife interactions for extensive production systems and mixed crop and livestock interactions for intensive production systems, animal health and genetic resource constraints and policy information management and communication.The region under discussion has a tremendous potential for livestock production, which has not been fully realized, and potential internal markets for livestock and livestock products. At present it lacks cohesive livestock development policies at both national and regional levels. The region carries more than 37%, 72%, 63%, 55%, 33% and 39% of Africa's human, cattle, sheep, goat, pig and chicken populations respectively (FAO, 1988).The purpose of this paper is an attempt to summarize the proceedings of the seminar, highlighting the issues raised and recommendations made.
