Title: SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT OF VALUE ADDED SHEEP MEAT IN CHATTOGRAM HILL TRACTS AREAS OF BANGLADESH
Authors: MARMA, UKYAWON
Abstract: The study was conducted to identify the supply chain of value-added sheep meat in the
Chattogram Hill Tracts (CHT) region of Bangladesh along with identify the socioeconomic
status of sheep farmers, profitability of sheep farming, and adaptation of sheep meat in the
study area. Multistage sampling technique was used to collect 40 sample farmers data to
attain the objectives of the study. In the study, the average age of sheep farmers was 38
years old. More than 52.5% farmers in the CHT region are illiterate due to a lack of
educational facilities and only 15% of farmers have an H.S.C level or above. The average
family size was 5.57. The main occupation of sheep farmers (37.5%) was farming, and
their average monthly family income was BDT 17,510.00. The total gross income of a
sheep farm per year was BDT 19283.23 and the net profit of the farm was BDT 8948.25.
The study reveals that the BCR on a full-cost basis and cash cost basis were 1.88 and 2.01,
respectively which indicates sheep farming was profitable. After value addition,
slaughterhouses earn a profit of BDT 305.41 and BDT 271.49 for per kg sheep meat in
Bandarban and Khagrachorri district, respectively. In addition, the producer's share is
44.29% in Bandarban and 46.15% in Khagrachorri district respectively. The participants
in the sheep and sheep meat supply chain were Bepari, slaughterhouse, local markets,
hotels and restaurants, army personnel. Government officials and local consumers. The
adaptability of sheep meat in the hills has been tested using a 6- point Likert scale and it
was observed that 60% respondents either very strongly agreed or agreed that in the hilly
area sheep production should be increased and 32.5% consumers either agreed or
somewhat agreed that sheep meat is tender and juicier than other meat. Therefore, The
Government of Bangladesh, researchers and policy makers should take necessary steps to
increase sheep production in the hilly areas with logistic supports for economic
development in the hilly areas2023-06-01T00:00:00ZSocioeconomic Study on Beef Fattening Farming System at Some Selected Areas of Kurigram District

Title: Socioeconomic Study on Beef Fattening Farming System at Some Selected Areas of Kurigram District
Authors: HOSSAIN, DR. NAZMUL
Abstract: Abstract
The purpose of the research was to evaluate the economic well-being of livestock producers and the current methods of beef fattening in certain regions of Kurigram district of Bangladesh. In May to August of 2022, 100 randomly chosen farms filled out a standardized questionnaire for this research. Age, education, employment, family size, land area, money availability, farm size, net income from fattening cattle, and issues with all cattle fattening factors that were analyzed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the financial viability of beef cattle fattening operations in the northern area of Bangladesh. Random selection was used to choose 100 cattle fatteners from three upazila at Kurigram districts that together constitute the largest concentration of fatteners in that region. The residents of Phulbari, Nageswari and Bhurungamari area were polled in order to compile socio-economic statistics and information on the fattening of cattle respectively. The socio-economic features of beef producers were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the profitability of the beef market was determined using the profit function and discover the factors that impact the profitability of beef cattle. Despite the fact that beef cattle raising is a lucrative enterprise, the majority of farmers still use traditional beef fattening methods. These methods of beef fattening target the cattle selling during Eid-ul-Adha, a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims. The margin of profitability for each beef cattle from all farms were calculated to be BDT 14017.5 Since the overall benefit cost ratio for the enterprise was calculated to be 1.14 but the medium farms( 6-10 cattle) are more profitable than small( ≤5 cattle) and large(> 10 cattle) farms. The optimum rearing time for beef fattening is 6 months that gives comparatively more profit. It can be concluded that the cattle fattening operation is both practicable and lucrative as a commercial perspective. The high cost of feeds, poor financing facilities, disease outbreaks, the unlawful use of human medications for the purpose of increasing the size of cattle herds, price swings, and a lack of competent extension services are the most significant challenges that farmers face today. Fatteners should be educated on how to formulate local feeds to reduce cost and access to feeds for better efficiency, and the use of human drugs, tablets, and injections for cattle fattening should be discouraged. The focus of policy and research should be on the production of feeds at prices that are affordable to fatteners. These findings may be utilized by Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development extension workers to spread the practice of beef cattle fattening to the areas of the country where it is not yet common.

Title: COMPARATIVE SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF BROILER AND SONALI CHICKEN PRODUCTION SYSTEM AT SOME SELECTED AREAS IN NARSINGDI DISTRICT
Authors: RAKIB, SHADEKUZZAMAN
Abstract: The study was undertaken to find out the socioeconomic status of Broiler and Sonali Chicken farm owners and their relative profitability. To conduct the study four Upazila Belabo, Raipura, Monohordi and Shibpur were selected as study areas under Narsingdi District. In total 40 commercial poultry farms were selected where 20 farms were Broiler, and 20 Farms were Sonali Chicken. From each Upazila each type of 5 farms were selected for in-depth study and collected necessary data from the farm owners from January to June 2022 through a pretested questionnaire directly by the researcher himself. The social characteristics of both types of poultry farmers have a lot of similarities and farmers reported Sonali chicken rearing is easier than that of broiler farming as farming risks and market price comparatively better than broiler with low cost of rearing. The study also revealed that, the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) for Broiler was found highest 1.45 in Farm-4 whereas the lowest 1.88 FCR was found in Farm 13 and in case of sonali chicken it was found the highest 2.27 in Farm-11 whereas the lowest 3.0 FCR was found in the Farms 2, 4 and 7. The accounted average FCR was found 1.69 for broiler and 2.1 for sonali chicken. An estimated average live weight per bird was found 1.99 kg in broiler and in sonali it stood at 0.83 kg. The average mortality rate was found for broiler 1.7 percent, and it stood at 2.91 percent for Sonali chicken. Farm wise mortality rate was the highest 3.33 percent in farm-9 and the lowest 0.8 percent in farm-2 whereas the highest and the lowest mortality rate was found 3.5 percent in farms 10 &117 and lowest 2.1 in farm-9 for sonali chicken.
The accounted highest cost incurred was found Tk.255.21 in farm-5 and the incurred per bird the lowest cost Tk. 177.21 in farm-16 for broiler and in case of sonali farming it stood as the highest. 175.45 in farm-15 and the lowest Tk. 164.55in farm-1. The accounted average cost per bird was found in Tk. 215.71 for broiler and Tk. 150.45 for sonali chicken. The average gross return and net return per bird in broiler and Sonali chicken were amounted in Tk.270.28 and Tk. 57.68 in broiler farming practices and Tk. 175.15 and Tk. 27.73 for sonali farming practices. The accounted Benefit Cost Ratio(BCR) was found 1.22 and 1.16, respectively for broiler and sonali chicken farming practices in a single which was indicated both type farming is a profitable farm business, but broiler gave comparatively higher return during a short period of time.
Finally, findings of the study, farmers always felt threatened to raise Broilers and Sonali owing to the different issues they were confronted with farming. Though the possibility of Broiler and Sonali farming were found to be high prospects as marketing be easy than other District, but Govt. support and facilities will be improved to make poultry farming as sustainable industry in Bangladesh. In conclusion, the research offered some valuable suggestions for potential solutions to solve the challenges is facing in Broiler and Sonali farming at Nasingdi District.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZSOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF GOAT REARING FARMERS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN KHAGRACHHARI DISTRICT, BANGLADESH

Title: SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF GOAT REARING FARMERS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN KHAGRACHHARI DISTRICT, BANGLADESH
Authors: Hazra, Ashik
Abstract: The goal of the study was to describe the traits of farmers in the Khagrachhari district who
raise goats and their methods for managing those animals. For the study, the researchers
chose 150 goat-rearing farmers at random from three upazilas in Khagrachhari. According
to the findings, a sizable percentage of the respondents were middle-aged (64.67%), had just
a primary education (30%), and belonged to large families (56.67%). The majority of
farmers (50%) were workers, and 86.67% of them were married. In order to start their goatrearing businesses, more than a third of the farmers—who lacked access to land—took
100% loans from NGOs rather than using their own funds. A platform above the floor was
absent from half of the goat huts, which were constructed of tin. Under a free-range system,
around one-third of the farmers (36%) allowed their goats to graze on natural fodder
(62.67%) and fed them wheat bran (52.67%) as a concentrate. In the region, Black Bengals
were the most popular breed. Just 20% of farmers consistently vaccinated their goats, and
only 23.33% regularly used anthelmintics. The majority of farmers (66.67%) only had a
basic understanding of goat illnesses. The main source of technical assistance was the local
