Abstract

This study analyzed agro-biotechnological innovations and adoption behaviour of pig farmers in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State. Data were collected from one hundred and twenty pig farmers from Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State. A random sampling technique was employed in this study. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression, specifically, multiple regression analysis. The regression analysis, however, revealed that education, agricultural extension visit, effective agricultural communication strategy and adoption of improved technologies has positive influence on output of improved pig production and are significant at 5 percent level of significance. It was therefore recommended that the government should post more extension agents to the study area since agricultural extension visit / training of pig farmers on adoption of new technologies in pig production has positive influence on output of improved pig produced in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State. KEY WORDS: Adoption, New technologies, Pig Production, Agricultural Extension Visit

尼日利亚克罗斯河州Obubra地方政府地区养猪户农业生物技术创新和采用行为分析

本研究分析了克罗斯河州Obubra地方政府地区养猪户的农业生物技术创新和采用行为。数据收集自克罗斯河州Obubra地方政府地区的120名养猪户。本研究采用随机抽样方法。收集的数据采用描述性统计和普通最小二乘(OLS)回归，即多元回归分析进行分析。回归分析表明，教育、农业推广访问、有效的农业传播策略和改进技术的采用对改良生猪产量有正向影响，且在5%的显著水平上显著。因此，建议政府向研究区域派遣更多的推广人员，因为农业推广访问/养猪户在生猪生产中采用新技术的培训对克罗斯河州Obubra地方政府区域的改良生猪产量产生了积极影响。关键词:养猪，新技术，生猪生产，农业推广
