摘要

尼日利亚西南部反复出现的长时间旱季对畜牧业生产构成重大威胁。畜牧农民对建立抵御能力和降低气候变化脆弱性的适应战略的了解有限。本研究评估了尼日利亚西南部畜牧业农民对旱季农场管理中抗灾策略的了解情况。采用有目的的抽样程序,对118名农民进行了访谈,内容涉及旱季牲畜管理知识、管理面临的具体挑战以及对有效牲畜管理的意见。结果表明,在旱季,饲料成本增加对农民构成挑战,而资金不足是最严重的制约因素。42%的农户管理知识水平较高,89.5%的农户对畜舍温控结构的机理不认同。农民读写约鲁巴语能力对良好管理规范知识的影响(χ2= 9.179;P < 0.05)和面临的约束(r = 0.21;P < 0.05)。当地语言的气候变化信息将提高畜牧农民应对不可预测的气候变化带来的挑战的能力。

Knowledge of resilience strategies in livestock management during dry periods in southwestern Nigeria
Recurring elongated dry seasons in South west Nigeria pose a significant threat to livestock production. Knowledge of adaptation strategies to build resilience and lowers vulnerabilities to climate change among livestock farmers is limited. This study assessed livestock farmers’ knowledge of resilience strategies in farm management during dry seasons in southwest Nigeria. Using a purposive sampling procedure, a total of 118 farmers were interviewed on knowledge of livestock management during dry periods, specific challenges to management, and opinions on efficient livestock management. The result shows that increased feed costs challenged farmers during the dry season while insufficient funds were identified as the most severe constraint. Knowledge of management was high among 42% of farmers and 89.5% of them disagreed on the mechanism for temperature control structure in livestock building. Knowledge of good management practices was influenced by farmers’ ability to read and write in Yoruba language (χ2= 9.179; p < 0.05) and constraints faced (r = 0.21; p < 0.05). Climate change information in local languages will improve livestock farmers’ resilience to challenges induced by unpredictable climate change.
