“…The proximate composition of native sheep meat in different feeding systems is described in Table 4 . In general, the slaughter age varied from 1 to 3 years with a live body weight of 8–22 kg with the traditional rearing system [ 57 , 99 ], but to gain economic benefit, the optimum slaughter age of native sheep is 6–9 months with a live body weight of 18.6–23.4 kg [ 58 , 82 , 100 ]. Sheep dressing percentages range from 39% to 68%, depending on age, breed, sex, feeding, and production system [ 57 , 58 , 82 , 99 ].…”

“…Indigenous sheep are an important part of rural communities’ socioeconomic structures [ 128 ], and they are regarded as “cash income” by rural farmers due to their easy availability for sale or exchange [ 129 ]. As they do not have a particular feeding habit, it is easy to maintain them in a small or medium space with naturally grown grasses, low-quality roughages, crop residues, tree toppings, farm and vegetable waste, aquatic weeds, and grasses in knee-deep water with a minimum concentrate mixture or any supplementation [ 49 , 71 , 100 , 106 , 130 , 131 ] 131 ]. Sheep farming could become a sustainable way to produce animal protein, end poverty, give women more power, and help Bangladesh’s economy grow if farmers had more knowledge and training about available technologies, motivation, intensive management, and controlled breeding with superior rams [ 21 , 100 , 131 , 132 ] 132 ].…”

Indigenous sheep are highly adaptable and widely distributed in different regions of Bangladesh. They are famous for their tolerance to harsh environmental conditions, low demand for feed, and disease resistance with minimum or no housing and management facilities. Ample indiscrimi¬nate research reports and case studies on the native sheep of Bangladesh have been published. Nonetheless, a comprehensive review of reproductive and productive performances, as well as their various morphometric physiognomies and climate resilience capabilities, is lacking. This review was designed to explore and summarize the available research reports on indigenous sheep to highlight the gaps and provide an updated database for the future research plan for sustainable native sheep production in Bangladesh. It covers studies on sheep biodiversity, their adaptabil¬ity to the local environment, morphometric features, feeding and nutrition, reproduction and production performances, diseases and health management, and the problems and prospects of sheep farming in Bangladesh. Due to the increased demand for animal protein, especially red meat, the scope of sheep farming increases along with that of other large and small ruminants. The vital constraints of sheep production in Bangladesh include insufficient feed and fodder sup¬ply with its high prices, higher disease occurrence with low or no management practices, kid mortality, and a poor marketing channel with the lower popularity of sheep meat than goat meat. Future research would be a prerequisite to measuring the impact of native sheep on household economies and food security during the year, evaluating the other challenges, and finding out the possible interventions in the fields of nutrition, reproduction, and health management.

“…Prior research generally emphasizes that such use empowers marginalized people such as women (Ahmed et al, 2006), gender-diverse communities (Selkie et al, 2020), migrants and refugees (Alam & Imran, 2015). By reinforcing the importance of "digital inclusion" (Tsatsou, 2013), studies like these privilege mobile media use as the locus of autonomy and empowerment.…”

The literature on mobile media and marginalized groups has focused on the use of mobile media as an agentic, visible, and varied process related to individual empowerment.Conversely, non-use is often presupposed to be a passive, invisible condition imposed by sociostructural forces. Our paper challenges this binary, positing that mobile media (non-)use can be an expression of agency motivated in response to structural constraints. We posit that (non-)use strategies span two dimensions: contextual-absolute and visible-invisible. Firstly, (non-)use does not always involve the complete absence of mobile media and may manifest in gradations that vary by sociostructural context. Secondly, certain (non-)use strategies may be less visible, and in turn, less likely to invite a sociostructural response, while more visible strategies risk inviting retaliation. We apply this conceptual lens to the context of cisfeminine (n = 17) and transfeminine (n = 17) sex workers in Singapore, who experience intersectional marginalization due to their gender identity, occupation, and migrant status. From our interviews, we develop a provisional typology of mobile media (non-)use strategies that offers insight into the complexities of (non-)use strategies in leading to (dis)empowerment and social transformation.

The present research was conducted to assess the reproductive performance, health management, and marketing system of native sheep in selected areas of Bangladesh. The data was collected from selected 11 Upazilas of 6 districts in Bangladesh. A pre-tested interview schedule was used to collect data from 1768 sheep rearing farmers by using a simple random sampling technique and analyzed descriptively. The study denoted that the age at 1 st heat or puberty was 7.01±0.03 months. However, the age at 1 st lambing was found 12.65±0.03 months irrespective of areas. The litter size was found 1.93±0.01 and the highest was in Balagonj (2.17±0.04) Upazila. Moreover, the average birth weight was 0.94±0.01 kg and the highest was in Companygonj (1.76±0.04 kg) followed by Subornochar (1.63±0.18 kg) Upazila. The service per conception rate was 1.10±0.01. Most of the farmers (60.18%) were used own ram 100% of farmers were used natural breeding for breeding practice. The sheep rearing farmers in the study areas were found moderately aware of different neo-natal nourishment practices. However, only 6.39% of farmers in different study areas found dipping of their sheep. The sheep mostly affected by pneumonia (43.72%), diarrhea (40.33%), alopecia (28.51%), bloat (22.79%), and parasitic infection (15.55%) found in the study areas. The dog bite (15.55%) was found a major problem in native sheep rearing irrespective of the study areas. Only 28.51% and 12.56% of farmers were used anthelmintic and vaccine respectively. Most of the farmers sell their sheep in the hat/Bazar (82.75%) and 60.46% of farmers sell sheep to paiker or bapari followed by the butcher (22.33%). Furthermore, most of the farmers (82.28%) fixed value for the sheep on the basis of eye estimation. There was no record of wool selling irrespective of study areas. Lack of organized and structured marketing system found in the study areas. Emphasis should be given to the sustainable improvement of native sheep and marketing systems to improve the livelihoods of rural poor farmers in Bangladesh.
