Multi-stage sampling procedure was used in selecting one hundred and fifty (150) broiler chicken producers. Primary data were collected through the use of a structured questionnaire. Tools of analysis used were descriptive statistics, farm budgetary techniques, and the multiple regression model. The socio-economic characteristics of the producers revealed a mean age of 44 years, with the majority (62.50%) of the producers being male. The broiler farmers had one form of education or another, with a mean flock size of 213 birds. It was found that the percentage contribution of the purchase of feed to the total variable cost of production was the highest (45.79%), with a sum of ₦ 756.06 at average as the total cost incurred in the production of broilers was realized. Consequently, the return on Naira invested of ₦ 1.38 implies that for any ₦ 1 invested in broiler production, the farmers generated 38k. The results from regression analysis revealed that sex, age, farming experience, household size, education, and membership in cooperatives were the determinants of the profitability of broiler chicken production. It was concluded that broiler production in the study area was profitable and that several socio-economic factors significantly influence profitability. It was therefore recommended that producers consider joining cooperative membership to explore the benefits of cooperatives and leverage bulk purchasing discounts and knowledge sharing opportunities, potentially improving profitability for members.","PeriodicalId":487597,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"64 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141651649","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}

Toasted Alchornea cordifolia seed meal (TASM) inclusion was to know the (%) level that will perform better. The mating ratio of 1 sire to 9 dams in combinations of Dutch black buck and New Zealand does (DTB X NZW), New Zealand buck and Dutch black does (NZW X DTB), and then their reciprocal crosses resulted in a total of 127 kittens (NZW X DTB). The treatment diets were formulated at different levels to meet the rabbit’s nutritional requirements. Rabbits were kept in hutches inside rabbit’s pens, and feed and water were provided ad libitum. Reproductive and body weight were recorded. Preliminary and phytochemical analysis of the TASM revealed that it has values of 20.00%, 90.30%, 14.50%, 12.00%, 1.05%, and 65.2% for crude protein, dry matter, Ether extract, crude fiber, Ash, and Nitrogen-free extract, and phytochemical contains 6.50mg/g and 86.05mg/g for phytic acid and tannins. From the experiment, it is revealed that the rabbit fed on 15% TASM (NZW X DTB) significantly (p˂0.05) had a better body weight and reproductive performance than other groups. The findings of this study show that TASM can be incorporated into rabbits' diets up to 15% inclusion level for better weight gain and reproductive efficiency without having any negative impact on the animal.","PeriodicalId":487597,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"4 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141653853","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}

The study selected 126 respondents through random sampling, comprising 57 microcredit beneficiaries and 69 non-beneficiaries. Data was gathered via structured questionnaires and analyzed using various statistical methods including descriptive statistics, FGT poverty measure, Probit regression, and comparison of means.The average per capita household expenditure in the study area was N 13,877.49, which was used to establish poverty thresholds of N 9,251.66 and N 4,625.83 for categorizing households as moderately poor and core poor respectively. The findings revealed a poverty incidence of 27 percent among microcredit beneficiaries and 29 percent among non-beneficiaries.Probit regression analysis indicated that female-headed households tended to be economically disadvantaged compared to male-headed ones. Furthermore, each additional year of formal education, possession of assets, and participation in microcredit were associated with reductions in poverty status by 0.994, 0.0529, and 0.08 respectively.A comparison of expenditure between microcredit beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries revealed higher expenditure among the former. The study suggests that policies promoting the establishment of more microcredit groups for impoverished households could be effective in alleviating poverty.","PeriodicalId":487597,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":" 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670353","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}

Specifically, the study sought to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of Nsukka yellow pepper marketers, examine the market structure of Nsukka yellow pepper, determine the marketing channel and conduct, and identify the constraints militating against the marketing of Nsukka yellow pepper. Purposive and multistage random sampling technique and a well-structured and validated questionnaire were used in the study. Based on the findings, the males (60%) dominated the wholesale market, while the females (90%) dominated the retail market of Nsukka yellow pepper in the study area. There was relatively a high-income inequality and degree of concentration with the Gini-coefficient of 0.584 in wholesaling against 0.524 in the retailing level of the crop. Five distributive channels (producers- marketing agents – wholesalers- retailers-consumers) were identified in the marketing of Nsukka yellow pepper. Major constraints among others include cost of transportation (93.3%), seasonality (63.3%) and perishability (86.7%) of the product and marketing charges (92.2%). It was recommended that Nsukka yellow pepper marketers should form cooperative societies to help them properly dispose their products, strengthen their capital base and easily assess credit facilities. Enlightenment campaigns about the crop should be embarked upon and the channels of distribution should be improved to help reduce the problem facing the marketers in the disposal of the product.","PeriodicalId":487597,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":" 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670907","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}
