ABSTRACT: Customer satisfaction is the suitability of the expectations desired by the customer for the performance of the product attributes offered by the supplier. The high level of satisfaction felt by customers will be create loyalty. Customer satisfaction surveys are needed by companies in order to make decisions marketing strategies program that are useful for maintaining or even increasing market share. Tanah Laut Regency is a very strategic location for animal feed mill because it is a source of production of the main raw material for feed, as specially corn and as area for the development of poultry production. There are 2 units of animal feed mill in Tanah.....

ABSTRACT: The need to promote good reproductive health of women is based on the truism that good health would increase agricultural production. This study therefore assessed the effect of birth control measures on agricultural production among women farmers in Ogun State. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 142 respondents who were rural women farmers for the study. Data were collected through the use of structured interview schedule and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result revealed that the level of use of traditional birth control methods was very low among the respondents. However, injectable contraceptives has relatively high utilization with a mean score of ( =1.72). Majority of the respondents (90.8%) strongly agreed that birth.....

ABSTRACT: Male out-migration from rural areas to cities and abroad not only increased the number of female households head in Nepal but also shifted household and farm responsibilities to women. This study conducted from April to June 2018 measures time use poverty through a gender perspective, and analyze its determinants. For this study, a purposive and simple random sampling technique was used to collect information from Gorkha and Chitwan districts. Time-use data were collected through a field survey with 120 households representing 60 households from each district by using a semi-structured questionnaire. Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) methodology used to assess time poverty depicted that 79.16% of women and 26.38% of men's household heads were time use poor. The rural households are more time use poor as compared with urban households. If the gender of the household head is female, time-poverty increased by 87.9%. Besides household head gender, livestock holding, migration, and location.....

ABSTRACT: Grading remains an unlikely operation to many small and medium farm holders who account for about 99 percent of grains produced in Nigeria, despite its importance. Grain quality is generally assessed virtually, it is influenced by the end-use and the price is determined more by locals rather than a national factor. Grain grading provides for a wider acceptability of grains, selection of good seeds, improvement of standards and market value. A grain grading machine was developed to grade maize grains according to size only. The machine was designed to be within the reach of small and medium scale farmers. Three independent variables (crank amplitude, feed rate and screen tilt angle) were varied during the performance evaluation to determine the grading efficiency.....

ABSTRACT: The study examined the perception and knowledge levels offarmers in adopting Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute (SLARI) released improved cassava varieties in Moyamba and Bonthe district of southern Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute has over the years developed and released 14 improved varieties of cassava to farming districts of Sierra Leone. Feedback from among the targeted farmers in relation to the level and amount of these technologies adopted will serve as worthwhile venture. To achieve that, four hundred and fifty (450)cassava growers were selected using purposive and random sampling methods. Data were analyzed qualitatively using descriptive statistic and probit.Results showthat knowledge level about the technology was moderate, while perception and....

ABSTRACT: This study was undertaken to investigate the growth performance of Lemna minor (duckweed) when planted in various chicken manure concentrations. Sixteen (16) containers were arranged in a completely randomized design having four experimental groups. The four groups consisted of Lemna minor plant grown in various levels of chicken manure mixed with tap water at levels, 0g/l,5g/l,10g/l, and 15 g/l and were designated as treatments, T1/control, T2, T3 and T4 respectively with four replicates each. The containers used to culture Lemna minor had a capacity of 12 liters and surface area of 0.12 m2. Each container was planted with 4 g of Lemna minor as the initial weight.The data collected was analyzed for ANOVA with an aid of statistical analytical programme (SPSS) and treatment means were separated with Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that there was significant difference (P<0.05) in the average relative growth rate and average fresh yield.Duckweed has multipurpose use therefore, it is important to identify ways on how this plant can be grown in backyard..

ABSTRACT: Paramphistomiasis is a common disease of ruminant causes heavy economic losses, distributed all over the world and caused by different genus and species of paramphistomes. This study was conducted to identifydifferent genus of paramphistomes on the basis of morphologyfound in cattle and detection of more common genus available in Bangladesh. Adult flukes were recovered from 150 visceral samples of cattle slaughtered in various localities of different district of northern areas of Bangladesh during July, 2018 to October, 2019 and identified by preparation and examination of permanent slide of paramphistome.Morphologically three genera of paramphistomes viz. Paramphistomum, Cotylophoron and Gastrothylax were recorded in cattle.
