Farmers Constraints In Rice Production In South-East Nigeria. One of the major constraints of the animal industry especially in developing countries like Nigeria is capital. In spite of the oil, agriculture remains the base of the Nigerian economy, providing the main source of livelihood for most Nigerians. Financial inadequacies have led to slow growing animal industries or moribund ones or even destroyed animal production industries. From Normalism to Sedentarism, An Analysis of Development Constraints and Public In African forage plant genetic resources, evaluation of forage germplasm and extensive livestock production systems (ed.

Abstract Constraints and opportunities in communal livestock production development in Nyandeni Local Municipality, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. By Tholakele Carol Ngqulana Supervisor:Dr S.E. Terblanche Department: Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development Degree: Msc (Agric) Extension In agriculture, biotechnology enhances the production of high yielding and disease resistance crops necessary for achieving food security and industrial development. The greatest impact of livestock in sustainable development designed to help the poor is enhancement of livestock-production systems. In Nigeria for instance, before crude oil was discovered agriculture accounted for more than three-quarters of the countrys export income and almost half of its GDP. Inadequate access to and low uptake of high quality seeds, low fertiliser use and inefficient production systems lead to this shortfall. The effect of the constraints is most evident on the deteriorating environment which is evident in each agro-ecological zone despite the different potentials and pressures. The Engagement of Women in Agricultural Production According to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development, women account for 75 percent of the farming population in Nigeria, working as farm managers, and suppliers of la-bour.

The overall livestock production constraints were feed shortages, livestock diseases, low genetic potential of indigenous livestock, lack of marketing infrastructure and water shortages. For an effective transformation of the livestock sub-sector in Nigeria policymakers must grapple with the onerous task of maintaining the delicate balance between innovation and traditional pastoralization. It is the main source of livelihood for most Nigerians. A multistage sampling technique was used in selecting 90 respondents used in the study.

This study aims at providing insight into the constraints inhibiting technology adoption behavior of cotton farmers in Katsina state, Nigeria. Equally, Local Governments in the state are not active in pro councils building housing units, the current housing stock in most of the councils is provided by individual households. Livestock production is likely to be increasingly affected by carbon constraints and environmental and animal welfare legislation. They are namely. The much wider gap between performance of tropical livestock species and those of the temperate climate demand a critical review and consideration by learners and practitioners of animal production. A sample size of forty (40) respondents was interviewed. The need for an impartial, objective and comprehensive assessment of Nigeria's livestock resources has long been recognized, but until recently the subject had remained a matter of debate and conjecture rather than one of concerted effort and coordinated field inquiry. According to a study published in 2019, between 2012 and 2050 the livestock population in Nigeria is forecasted to increase significantly. Using a semi-structured questionnaire, livestock-keeping households (HH) were interviewed in Kano/Nigeria (84 HH), Bobo Dioulasso/Burkina Faso (63 HH) and Sikasso/Mali (63 HH). In this post we look at the Problems and Prospects of Livestock Industry in Nigeria. Poultry farmers in Nigeria have encountered serious challenges in poultry production. For the most part, these challenges have brought about low productivity in poultry production in Nigeria. A good number of Nigerians have been discouraged from poultry production, given frequent dead of birds recorded in recent times, coupled with birds diseases.

Port Harcourt, Nigeria. List of Problems Confronting Livestock Production 1) Nutrition and Feed Supplies on Livestock Production. CATTLE RANCHING IN NIGERIA: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION Abstract Pastoralism is the most traditional of ruminant livestock production systems in which extensive movement of the animals in search of pastures and water is its salient feature. This also applies to livestock production including piggery. The constraints to livestock production in Nigeria include biological limitations of the indigenous breeds of animals, unavailability of production inputs such as feed, water and good quality pasture year-round, lack of effective veterinary services, and unavailability of vaccines and veterinary drugs at reasonable costs.

Table 4 : Analysis of constraints associated with pig production. Dairy and Vet Sci J. Abstract. Food production in sub-Saharan Africa is not keeping pace with demand and this is a cause of instability that will constraint all other attempts at Development. The Director General of the Nigeria Institute of Animal Science, Prof. Eustace Iyayi, has said the livestock industry in Nigeria could be valued at least N50 trillion over the next decade if all the right structures are put in place. KEYWORDS: Constraints to participation, women-in-agriculture programme, Nigeria INTRODUCTION Agriculture is as an engine of growth and poverty reduction in countries where it is the main occupation of the poor (World Bank, 2007). Questions covered livestock species kept, herd sizes and structure, feeds used, manure management, livestock marketing and production constraints. It is obvious that the constraints to livestock development are varied. The contributions of livestock to Agriculture in 1999 and 2010 remain at 2.64% (CBN, 2010).

There are a number of constraints confronting the livestock industry and impedes its growth and development most especially in the tropics. Nutrition and Feed Supplies: The provision of feed that is adequate both in quality and quantity and accessible to animals all year round is the most outstanding problem of livestock production in the tropics.
