Abstract:

The study was conducted to understand farmers’ feeding and breeding practices in the Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Eighty farmers were randomly selected from four villages of two blocks. These farmers were grouped into three categories based on their landholding size as marginal (less than 1 ha), small (1-2 ha) and medium (2-10 ha). Using a pre-tested interview schedule, data were collected on existing breeding and feeding management practices followed by different categories of farmers.It is revealed that all farmers offered green fodder to their dairy animals @16.03 ± 0.80, 18.96

Abstract:

AbstractOrganic and low-input farmers often plant seed varieties that have been selected under conventional practices, traditionally including high inputs of artificial fertilizers, crop protection chemicals and/or water. In addition, these crops are often selected in environments that may or may not represent the local environment of the farmer. An evolutionary participatory breeding (EPB) method emphasizes the utilization of natural selection in combination with site-specific farmer selection in early segregating generations of a heterogeneous crop population. EPB is a combination of two spe

The objectives of this study were to determine the farmers’ socio-economic characteristics, livestock population dynamics, and breeding practices followed by the farmers. Out of 1487 farmers, a major proportion (53.12%) of farmers was middle-aged. Most of the farmers (71.22%) were associated with agricultural activities and had low income per month (52.32%). Livestock keeping patterns of farmers were cattle, goats, buffalo, and combinations of these animals. Female animals were inferred to be more prevalent in different districts (cow 85.08%, doe 81.29%) than males (bull 14.92%, buck 18.71%).

<strong>Motivation: </strong>In 2005, researchers from the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement, INRAE) started a collaboration with the French farmers' seed network Réseau Semences Paysannes (RSP) on bread wheat participatory breeding (PPB). The aims were: (1) to study on-farm management of crop diversity, (2) to develop population-varieties adapted to organic and low-inputs agriculture, (3) to co-develop tools and methods adapted to on-farm experiments.

Abstract:

Poultry can supplement traditional farming, provide additional income to farmers if managed effectively. It does not require additional skilled laborers, household family members can manage it following brooding, feeding, housing, breeding and healthcare. There are benefits as well as constraints farmers face while cultivating backyard poultry, such as health issues, theft, predators, high feed cost, weather condition, flock size. Management strategies could assist farmers to prepare for drawbacks and achieve profitable eggs and meat sell. Brooding management consists of providing birds at dif

Goats in Ethiopia are found in all agro-ecological zones. However, the selection criteria, breeding objectives and breeding practices of goat keepers are not similar across all agro ecologies and production systems. In arid and semi-arid lowlands of the country, the primary breeding objective of most of goat keepers was milk

Sustainable dairy management (SDM) practices aim to minimize environmental impact, promote animal welfare, ensure economic viability, and support social responsibility throughout the dairy production chain. The SDM practices that could improve sustainability of dairy farming systems in Uganda include milk management, animal health, feeding and breeding practices. Despite the numerous advantages that scientific literature reports for these dairy management practices, they are not always adopted by farmers because of various factors.

Aedes aegypti (Ae aegypti) mosquitoes find suitable breeding grounds in agricultural practices such the use of irrigation during rice cultivation, the use of ponds for fish farming, and the storage of water in tanks for livestock. The anopheles’ mosquito is the most prevalent Aedes aegypti (Ae aegypti) mosquito in Tamil Nadu, India, and it is mostly responsible for the morbidity and mortality linked to dengue and malaria. As a result, farmers are particularly vulnerable to malaria and dengue fever, two diseases that have a negative effect on agricultural productivity. Regrettably, there is a d

Abstract:

Profit maximization is not the only production objective in farming. For smallholder farms worldwide, family sustenance often takes priority, with production being viewed more as savings-oriented than market-oriented. Furthermore, market pressures can lead to the mismanagement of indigenous livestock resources, increasing their risk of genetic erosion. To ensure the long-term conservation of the Philippine native pig, this study aimed to determine the various types of native pig farmers and define the intervention strategies for each type.
