Adoption Of Improved Rabbitry Technologies In Ben De Local Government Area Of Abia State, 'Nigeria: Oti, Ejikeme
ABSTRACT
The study
investigated farmers adoption of improved rabbitary technologies in Bende L.G.A
of Ahia State, Nigeria. One hundred farmers were selected randomly using the
simple random sampling technique. Data were collected by the use of pre-tested
questionnaire. The data generated were subjected to descriptive (frequency,
percentages, and inferential (regression) statistical analysis. The result
revealed that 32% of the farmers fell between the ages of 26-35 years old.
While majority (72%) of the farmers were males. Forty seven percent (47%) of
the farmers made a monthly income from N100-4899 from the sale of rabbit and
other rabbit by-products. Information for adoption of rabbitry were got from
neighbours/friends and other sources of information. The adoption level of the
technological package was with a grand mean adoption score of 2.26. The
regression analysis showed that age (X, 0.013, P 0.05) and monthly income (X, =
0.001, P< 0.05) positively affected the adoption of the technologies. It was
therefore recommended that there should be policies by government to empower
farmers especially youths to rabbit production through agricultural loans.
Television viewing centres and Radio forum will also promote adoption of
improved rabbi try technologies.
