Specifically, the study described socio-economic characteristics of rural women, assessed the frequency of use and ascertained perception of women on the use of improved processing and storage facilities. A three stage sampling procedure was used to select 160 rural women from who data was collected using structured interview schedule. Data collected were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings revealed that 60.6% were aged above 50years, 79.4% were married, 48.8% had no formal education while 62.5% were non-member of cooperative society. PPMC analysis between socio-economic characteristics and the use of improved processing/storage facilities among rural women indicated that level of formal education (p=0.002, r=0.240) and membership of agricultural society (p=003, r=0.237) showed positive significant relationship while age (p=0.000, r=-0.299) and marital status (p=0.000, r=-0.308) showed negative significant relationship at p<0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that women in the study area were low users of improved processing and storage facilities despite having favourable perception towards using them. It was therefore recommended that extension service should engage in training women and dissemination of affordable processing and storage technologies to the rural communities.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"54 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141013555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the significant contributions of the poultry industry, women's participation in this sector remains constrained by various socioeconomic factors. This study aims to investigate the socio-economic status of gender participation in poultry production in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria. The study employs a quantitative data collection technique. A structured questionnaire was administered to 257 randomly selected poultry producers, including both men and women, to gather quantitative data on their socioeconomic characteristics, production activities, scale size, types of poultry reared, production system, and constraints faced. The study findings revealed only few (30%) of the poultry producers are females.  Males (48.0%) and (32.4%) of female poultry producers are married. Also, (30.7%) of males and (13.2%) of female poultry producers had tertiary education. In addition, most of the males (47.5%) and females (57.4%) are within age range of 31-40 years; similarly male (36.9%) and (23.5%) of female poultry producers mainly engaged in trading as their main occupation. However, male (35.2%) and female (35.2%) poultry producers had flock size of 50-500 birds. Moreover, only few males (42.5%) and females (44.1%) poultry producers have contact with veterinary extension agents. Regarding poultry management activities participation, female producers were found to participate mostly in Feeding (43.6%), Sanitation (41.6%), Medication (29.4%) and Water Management (27.9%). On other hand their male counterpart mostly participated in house construction (39.1%), Medication (40.8%) Sanitation (36.3%) and feeding (30.7%). Findings also show majority of males (67.6%) and female (72.1%) poultry producers use intensive system of livestock production in the study area.  The result findings also reveals insufficient fund (85.3%) and Domestic and household work (72.1%) as the major constraints posing threats to women/female participation in poultry production. The study concluded that poultry production is dominated by male/men and therefore, recommended that there is need to organize programs that will include more woman in poultry production.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"35 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139151683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining factors influencing agricultural commercialization among smallholder rice farmers is important for boosting rice production and making price of rice affordable. However, study focusing on factors influencing agricultural commercialization among smallholder rice farmers are very few. Hence the need for this study. The paper used cross sectional data obtained from a simple random sampling where a sample of 420 smallholder rice farmers was obtained. Descriptive statistics and double hurdle regression analysis were employed as analytical methods to obtain results on respondents’ socioeconomics characteristics and factors influencing agricultural commercialization. The findings indicate that men engaged more in rice production than women irrespective of their commercialization status and commercializing respondents produce more tonnes of rice than their non-commercializing counterparts. Some of the determinants of the decision to commercialize and intensify commercialization include: education, earning income from other crops, access to credit, being member of agricultural production group and reduced cost of transportation. Therefore, in order to boost rice production there is the need for government and NGOs to support rice farmers (particularly the young male) in terms of improving their level of education and access to credit via group lending which would promote group formation. Also, efforts in the direction of reduction of transaction costs via good road networks, subsidizing price of means of transport and as well as mobile phone and improving extension services delivery should be prioritized.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"294 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139152597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This current study, therefore, used 3 Pleurotus species (P. ostreatus -PO, P. florida – PF, and P. sajor-caju- PS) to treat 4 crop residues (cowpea chaff - CC, millet chaff - MC, groundnut haulm - GH, and maize stover -MST) over 20 days at room temperature. The treated residues were afterward dried and sub-samples were taken for chemical composition (Dry matter – DM, crude protein – CP, Neutral detergent fibre – NDF, and Acid detergent fibre – ADF) determination and in vitro studies (in vitro gas and methane gas production). The Pleurotus species improved the crop residues nutrient composition through increased CP values and decreased NDF and ADF values but the species varied in their residues preference. PO greatly improved GH and CC; PS greatly improved MC; and PF greatly improved MST. The Pleurotus species improved the in vitro gas production of millet chaff (57 – 107 ml/ g DM – PF; 123 ml/ g DM – PS; and 130 ml/ g DM – PO) only. The highest in vitro gas production in PO-treated MC was complemented with comparable methane gas production (3.28 – 5.19 ml/ g DM) and percentage methane in total gas production (7 – 7%) to intact residue at 72h of incubation. It can be concluded that PO-treated millet chaff can be used as improved supplementary dry season feed for better ruminant production.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"34 11‐12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored the factors that smallholder farmers in Ebonyi State considered when adding value to their sweet potato production. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, primary data was gathered from 400 small-scale sweet potato growers out of the state's 380,000 growers. Interview schedules were the instrument utilized for data collection. Information was gathered on the sweet potato processing method as well as the socioeconomic traits of the growers. Statistics from the descriptive and probit regression models were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that the traditional method of processing sweet potatoes was predominant in the area. At a 1% probability level, the probit regression coefficient of educational attainment and farmers’ association membership was significant and positively correlated with the addition of value to sweet potatoes. Additionally, at a 5% probability level, access to credit was substantial and positively associated with the addition of value to the sweet potato. At 1% and 5% probability levels, respectively, coefficients of gender and farming status were significant and inversely associated with the addition of value to sweet potatoes. The study concludes that the most common processing methods used by sweet potato farmers are traditional processing methods. Therefore, strategies to educate farmers about the value of forming farmer groups are needed, as most training on value addition and access to knowledge about market opportunities can be easily shared through farmers' groups.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"55 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139150559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blood sampling was carried out at 30 min intervals for 6 h following the GnRH administration for determination of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and once daily for 12 days after the injection of the first GnRH to determine plasma progesterone concentration. The ovarian response of the treated groups showed no significant difference between the two dosages of ovsynch protocol but differed significantly between the treated and the control groups. Peak values of serum LH obtained on day 0 and day 9 of GnRH administration differed significantly (P<0.05). Plasma progesterone increased among treated groups following injection of GnRH reaching a peak on day 7 compared to control, but did not differ among treated groups.

Data were obtained on individual camels, including; estimated body weight (EBW), heart girth (HG), abdominal girth (AG), body length (BL), rump height (RH), shoulder height (SH), face length (FL), foreleg length (FLL), hind leg length (HLL), tail length (TL), neck length (NL), neck circumference (NC), and head length (HL). Data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results obtained showed no-significant (p>0.05) effect of sex on body weight in females and males. The correlation coefficients highlight strong relationships, particularly in HG and AG, emphasizing their significance in predicting body weight. The results show moderate to low VIF values, suggesting acceptable levels of multicollinearity in the models. Prediction equations are gender-specific, with separate models for females and males. For both sexes, HG and AG emerge as crucial predictors, with additional contributions from SH and FLL in certain models. The coefficient of determination (R2) indicates the proportion of variability in body weight explained by the models. For females, a three-variable model achieves an impressive R2 of 99.1%, while the corresponding male model attains 97.6%. Combining sexes, the models reach R2 values of 98.1% and 98.3%, showcasing the efficacy of the proposed regression equations in predicting body weights in dromedary camels. The study provides valuable insights for camel management, offering a practical tool for estimating body weight based on readily measurable morphometric traits.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"59 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138949152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
