“…The score for rate of adoption was higher than the score for idea about the concept for parameters of housing, feeding and treatment, breeding and marketing of livestock products. These results were agreed with the findings of Akteruzzaman et al (2008). The extent of credit received by the respondents in three areas of the study is given in Table 4.…”

“…First cycle loan proportion (%) was higher compared to 2 nd and 3 rd cycle loan of the studied areas. This result was similar to the findings of Akteruzzaman et al (2008). The loan size increased with the increase of frequency of loan received due to reliability of the farmers' activities (Table 5).…”

“…This study depicts the primary objective of the training program to explore the impact of training in changing farmer's livelihood and economic status. The challenges of the twenty-first century, among others are alleviate poverty in Bangladesh (Akteruzzaman et al, 2008). The agriculture sector consists of crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry and indispensable role to play in meeting the challenges.…”

“…Realizing the potential of poultry to meet the need of the country both government and NGOs have taken poultry as a device for solving some problems of rural disadvantaged and destitute women. Consequently, Participatory Livestock Development Project (PLDP) has been launched since 1998 to implement the poultry model to improve the status of those women, reduced poverty and increased rural employment (Akteruzzaman et al, 2008). Raha (2003) observed that major components of poultry production chain under PLDP were profitable.…”

“…Recently government of Bangladesh has launched a goat/sheep project as a means of poverty alleviation through the technical assistance from DLS. This would be a viable project for poverty reduction in rural areas of Bangladesh (Akteruzzaman et al, 2008). Social Development Foundation (SDF) has launched a Nutan Jibon Livelihood Improvement Project (NJLIP) financed by IDE of World Bank on improving livelihood of the poor and ultra-poor smallholders through livestock and other agricultural technologies.…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of training facilitated by Nuton Jibon Livelihood Improvement Project (NJLIP) under Social Development Foundation (SDF) for transfer livestock technologies and livelihood improvement for rural poor farmers in Bangladesh. A total of 650 farming households were selected by baseline survey during January 2018 to June 2018.The training and non-training beneficiaries were primary level educated and their family size (4.52) was little lower than the national average (4.9). Average age was 36.73 and 35.12 years for training and non-training farmers, respectively. The rate and amount of loan was found higher with respondent received training than without training. Adoption rate of technologies was higher than the level of idea on the concept of housing, feeding, breeding and marketing. The training beneficiaries improved knowledge and skill on feeding, management and health care of livestock and poultry. Training and demonstration are considered two strong tools for adoption and dissemination of livestock technology. Herd and flock size was increased by training beneficiaries than non-training beneficiaries. Beneficiaries having training on various IGAs have expanded their land and asset possession to a greater extent compared to non-training beneficiaries. Housing and sanitation condition of training beneficiaries were higher than non-training beneficiaries. Increased annual income of training and non-training households was 19.43% and 13.30% where income from different IGAs of livestock was 32.19% and 14.53%, respectively. Livestock were not extremely price sensitive but more sensitive on non-price factors logistic support like institutional support, quality of input and availability of input. Thus, training was treated as vital tools for transfer livestock technologies to influence the poor farmer’s livelihood improvement of training household than non-training household. SAARC J.

An Assessment of Economic Sustainability and Efficiency in Small-Scale Broiler Farms in Limpopo Province: A Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An important factor in determining the success of a small-scale broiler farm is its economic viability and efficiency. During times of trouble for the industry, the idea receives more attention. The conceptual considerations of economic sustainability and efficiency are frequently quite constrained, according to the difficulties raised in this study and by other authors. There is a lack of information about South Africa's small-scale broiler production's economic viability and effectiveness. Furthermore, it is clear that small-scale broiler producers have the ability to increase their economic efficiency. By reducing the mortality rate, feed conversion rate, and production duration, both their technical and financial efficiency could be improved. Profitability in the production of broilers will be considerably increased by lowering the cost of these variable inputs, particularly feed and day-old chicks. Additionally, raising the education level, capacity utilization ratio, and broiler production would all contribute to raising the farms' efficiency levels. To ensure effective resource use and to maximize practicable profit, small-scale broiler producers who are not operating close to the profit frontier must make efforts to reduce both technical and allocation inefficiencies. Collectively, all these measures would ensure the economic sustainability of small-scale farmers in South Africa would be met. Moreover, the sustainability of small-scale broiler producers can be achieved if strategies that build local capacity and that empower them to sustain high levels of productivity are provided. In addition, the efficient use of resources will ensure that productivity is enhanced, and might increase profitability. It is therefore important to ensure that small-scale broiler producers achieve maximum profit for a given set of inputs. Approaches in assessing the farm-level profitability such as cost-benefit and gross margin analyses can be used.

The study was conducted to examine the impact of training provided to livestock farmers facilitated by the Bangladesh Livestock Research Institue (BLRI) for transferring technology, adoption, and its impact on the livelihoods of trained farmers from July 2020 to June 2021. A Simple random sampling technique was used to select 80 trained livestock farmers from Dhamrai, Jessore Sadar, and Naikhongchhari Upazilas of Dhaka, Jessore, and Bandarban districts respectively. Data was collected through a pre-tested questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. The majority of respondents were male (66.25%) and the average age, year of schooling, and family members were 37.10±0.86, 9.05±0.24 years, and 5.10±0.19 respectively. Agriculture (72.50%) was the main occupation of livestock farmers. The average number of cattle and poultry was the highest in Dhamrai (5.83±0.20) and Jessore Sadar (727.20±54.79) Upazilas respectively. The livestock farmers were found moderately adopted to scientific management and technologies. However, in most of the cases, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) found between knowledge and skill level. It was also observed that after training all parameters of livelihood assets were improved. The annual income increased from BDT 181937.50±19169.98 to BDT 247637.50±20079.57. Thus, training was found to be moderately effective in disseminating knowledge and skill in technology and management of livestock and improving the livelihoods of the livestock farmers.
