ABSTRACT

The study investigated farmers adoption of improved rabbitary technologies in Bende .G.A of Abia 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 NI 00-N899 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 (X1 = 0.013, P<0.05) and monthly income (X7 = 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 rabbitry technologies
