| Abstract: |
The study is a synthesis of findings of results of three different studies viz. large ruminant crossbreedingprogramme assessment study (1993), research impact study (1994), and census survey of Lumle AgriculturalResearch Centre's Extension Command Area {I991). The study has primarily attempted to identify the factorsaffecting adoption of improved cattle and buffaloes using a logistic regression analysis (stepwise forwardmethod). Six variables viz household food balance, breeding bull distribution programme. number of largeruminants (LS unit), interaction between number of large ruminants and livestock system, feed source and sexof household head significantly affected adoption of improved breed of buffalo. Similarly, in cattle adoptionof improved breed was affected by agro-ecological zone, food balance, feed source, livestock feed balance,breeding bull distribution programme, and interaction between number of large ruminants and feed balance.Of these variables, correlation of the adoption of improved breed varied with the category of feed source. However, food balance, number of large ruminants, and interaction between number of large ruminants and feed balance was positively correlated. whilst the rest of the variables were negatively correlated with improved breed adoption. Striking results qf the study are that wealthier class of farmers, and farmhouseholds with Kudo/mixed feed source have adopted improved breed of both species. Negative correlationof breeding bull distribution programme with adoption of improved animals by farm households residing inprogramme villages is indicative of diffusion q( the technology to villages without breeding bull distributionprogramme, attributing to the success of the programme. |
