Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The scale of cattle maintained by rural farmer has a lot to do with the farmers’ perception on factors that limits or encourages them to change the scale of their stock. These influences on cattle scale are captured in 6 districts of Battambang province of Cambodia. Data collected were analyzed using two equations and each with two different models. The result of the models depicted one common factor (the size of cultivated land) being highly significant and positively related to the scale of cattle raised by farmers. Other significant factors include the age of the household head, the number of laborers in the family and education of the household head. This study is of great assistance to extension officer and policy makers on effective way to improve the livestock subsector in the rural region.
