Title : Assessment of Feed Industries and Economics of Maize as a Major Feed Ingredients in Poultry Diets. Material Type: printed text Authors: S Sapkota, Author Pagination: 349-360 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Study was conducted involving different feed mills ofChitwan district to assess the status of feed industries
and economics of maize as a major feed ingredient in poultry feeds. Sample survey, personal contact and
literature were reviewed to collect the data. There were altogether 70 feed industries in Nepal in the year of
2005/06 and among them Pashu Ahara Utpadan Bikash Samiti, is the registered government owned feed
industry. Collected information from Chitwan shows that the feed mills in Chitwan which are not working
industries in Chitwan are Triveni feed, Bhandari feed and Narayani feed industries reason behind are the
imperfect market information, limitation for owner about the availability for making rational decisions and
higher price fluctuation of feed ingredients. Yellow maize, rice polish, deoiled rice polish, wheat bran,
molasses, oil meal, sunflower cake , mustard cake, fish meal, bone meal, oyster shells, limestone feed
supplement are the ingredients used to formulate the feed. The annual production of poultry feeds fluctuates
and shows increased trend in the year of 2000 up to 2003 and decreased from the year of 2003 to 2005. In
addition to this the trend of export of feed is also shows a fluctuating trend with decreased from 1999 to
2001 and increased up to the year of2004 and again decreased in 2005. 108,579MT. yellow maize is used in
a year as the feed ingredients, of total amount of yellow maize used as the feed 60% is imported from
different countries. By analyzing the data of over 8 years of area and the productio~ of maize the trend
shows that the area occupied by maize is almost stagnant but the productionlha is increased. By comparing
the number of feed industries of the year 2003 to 2006 the number of feed industries is reducing with
increased number of poultry production. Unavailability of quality control of prepared poultry feed,
deteriorating in purity of high yielding variety of maize, imperfect market information, fluctuating price and
the problem of dumping are the problem faced by the farmers and the feed industries.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=367 Assessment of Feed Industries and Economics of Maize as a Major Feed Ingredients in Poultry Diets. [printed text] / S Sapkota, Author . - [s.d.] . - 349-360 p.

Title : Seed technology trasfer in Nepal: A case study of rice seed transfer mechanism Material Type: printed text Authors: S Sapkota, Editor ; Gauchan, D., Author Pagination: 373-378 p. Keywords: Improved seed ; technology transfer formal informal system Abstract: Innovations in the field of agricultural technology are basically transferred through quality
seed of suitable variety. Informal and formal are the two types of seed transfer mechanism
in Nepal. Both formal and informal seed systems are interlinked and can complement each
other for the delivery of desired technologies. Although, currently the formal sector deliver
for less than 10 percent of seed transaction in Nepa~ it has an important role in developing
new varieties, maintain varieties and source seeds and ultimately increased production and
regulating marketing mechanisms. This paper is based on the study from Kavre, Chitwan
and Rupendehi districts of Nepal which was conducted to sort out the difference in rice
seed access made through technology transfer mechanism and its effect on production. It
involved random sampling of 150 households from three districts viz, Kavre, Chitwan and
Rupendehi with SO sample from each district.. Study covered the period of 2009 to 2011.
Study methods included: PRA tools, field visits including key informants' interviews, and
household survey. Statistical mean, percentage, regression analysis, p value used to analyze·
the collected data. The findings revealed two types of technology transfer-formal and
informal types. Out of total formal seed transfer, the findings revealed the transfer of
improved seeds of 27.4% from Cooperatives of Kavre, 32.9% from Seed Company of
Chitwan and 49.2% from Seed Company of Rupendehi. Seed rate use was significantly
high by using the seed transferred through non formal sector, while the rice yield per
hectare was high by using the seed of formal sector. Therefore, strategy should be to
promote the use of seed transferred through formal institutions. To meet such strategy
promote use of quality seeds by expanding farmer's choice including use of high vigour of
local genetic resources based on different ecological zones. Beside this formal institutions
involved in seed transferring should be strengthened.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=970 Seed technology trasfer in Nepal: A case study of rice seed transfer mechanism [printed text] / S Sapkota, Editor ; Gauchan, D., Author . - [s.d.] . - 373-378 p.

Title : Understanding of Potential and Critical Constraints to Marketing of Goats in the Western Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: MB Nepali, Author ; MR Tiwari, Author ; S Sapkota, Author ; BR Acharya, Author ; S Gautam, Author ; KR Joshi, Author ; S Amatya, Author Pagination: 333-348 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Goat production and marketing study was conducted in eleven western hill districts. Most of the goat raising
farmers, middlemen and wholesalers explained that there is lack of goat marketing centres either in the
VDCs level or in district headquarters I municipalities of the western hills of Nepal. Some of the market
channels are the village level markets, catchments markets, terminal markets and district headquarters I
municipalities markets. There are some marketing agents dealing with goat marketing from villages to
municipalities. Goat marketing agents mainly found farmers and middlemen at the village level and
catchments markets. In terminal markets, mainly wholesalers and middlemen were involved whereas in
district headquarters and municipalities the middlemen, wholesalers and butchers were dealing the goat
business. The results revealed that 59.3% respondents believe middlemen visit in the village for goat
marketing. Almost all farmers sell their goats on the basis of estimated price. Major constraints on goat
marketing were lack of public goat marketing centres, lack of communications about goat marketing and
lack of infrastructure etc. in all domestic markets. In the western hills of Nepal main goat marketing centre
was found in Pokhara sub-municipality where traders 1 whole sellers bring their goats to sale from different
catchments. Based on the survey in II districts, the average share of goat in the total household income was
found to be 11 %.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=366 Understanding of Potential and Critical Constraints to Marketing of Goats in the Western Hills of Nepal [printed text] / MB Nepali, Author ; MR Tiwari, Author ; S Sapkota, Author ; BR Acharya, Author ; S Gautam, Author ; KR Joshi, Author ; S Amatya, Author . - [s.d.] . - 333-348 p.
