摘要

一系列数字技术预示着扩大家禽企业优化效率和生产力的巨大意义。该研究调查了家禽养殖户在数字技术方面的知识及其实践的技术性。在Osun州首府Osogbo的尼日利亚家禽农民协会(PFAN)的定期会议期间,对其成员进行了随机抽样,以收集数据。通过结构合理的问卷管理,从136名农民中收集的数据被用于研究。对收集的资料进行描述性和多元回归分析。许多人(78.7%)对使用3D打印机进行机器维修知之甚少,只有12.5%的人对供应链中的产品跟踪区块链技术有很好的了解。大多数家禽企业由农场工人手工操作,只有18.4%的企业使用计算机进行记录。农民在数字化家禽管理方面的知识和实践(r2 = 0.61, 0.59)受到劳动强度等企业特征(b = 1.97, b = 1.09)的显著影响。总之,家禽业的技术和数字化仍然滞后,这是在主要的小型企业特征范围内得到支持的。因此,研究与开发(R&D)应以政策为导向,使家禽养殖户能够对适合当地和适合社会经济的数字技术敏感和赋权。这揭示了广泛可用的数字技术无法渗透到基层家禽系统中。

Towards the digitalization of poultry industry in Nigeria: An investigation of farmers’ knowledge and practices
The array of digital technologies portends huge significance for up-scaling poultry enterprises for optimized efficiency and productivity. The study investigated poultry farmers’ knowledge and the technicality of their practices concerning digital technologies. Members of the Poultry Farmers Association of Nigeria (PFAN) in Osun State capital, Osogbo were randomly sampled during their periodic meetings for data collection. Through the administration of well-structured questionnaires, data collected from a total of 136 farmers were employed for the study. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive and multivariate regression analyses. Many (78.7%) had poor knowledge of the use of 3D printers for machine repairs and only 12.5% had good knowledge of blockchain technology for product tracking in the supply chain. Most poultry enterprise operations were serviced manually by farmworkers while only 18.4% facilitated record-keeping with computers. Farmers’ knowledge and practices in digital poultry management (R 2 = 0.61, 0.59) were significantly influenced by the enterprise characteristics like labour strength (b = 1.97, b = 1.09). In conclusion, technological and digitalization lag remains in the poultry industry and this is espoused within the confines of the predominant small-scale enterprise features. Thus, research and development (R&D) should be policy-guided to enable poultry farmers’ sensitization and empowerment with locally adapted and socio-economically appropriate digital technologies. This reveals the incapacitated diffusion of the widely available digital technologies to infiltrate grassroots poultry systems.
