Factors affecting Small Dairy Farmers’ Adoption and Intensity of Adoption of Artificial Insemination Technology: A Case Study of Southern Ethiopia
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
The study was carried out in Loma woreda in Dawuro zone of Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State with the objective of identifying factors influencing artificial insemination (AI) technology adoption and its intensity in dairy farmers. Tobit model was used to examine factors affecting probability of adoption and intensity of adoption of AI technology. Land holding, information accessibility, artificial insemination training and support had a positive and herd size had negative statistical significant effect on adoption and intensity of adoption of AI technology at 10% significance level. It was concluded by the study that strengthening of extension and research activities are needed to spread the uptake of AI technology which will be helpful to improve the yield potential of small dairy farm holders in southern Ethiopia.
