“…As a duck egg production needs some capital and experiences, emerging farmers may hesitate to participate in the smallholders duck farm industry; therefore, there is only a fraction of young farmers involved in total duck farms. (Ezeibe et al, 2014).Three categories of duck farming operations based on the resource management, productivity, and sustainability, the operators are small scale (<500 ducks), medium-scale (500-1000 ducks) and large scale (>1000 ducks). This study reported that 93.33% farmers belong to small and medium scale categories, and the rest is the large scale farmers, this shows that the duck farming business is still a smallholder farm industry (Table 1).…”

Central Java is the region that produces the second largest duck egg production in Indonesia or reaches 13.55% of the total national duck egg production. Therefore, duck farming in Central Java requires an economic evaluation to identify the success of the business. The economic analysis in the duck farm industry will update the latest statistics on production costs, outputs and profitability. This study aims to assess the analysis of laying duck business, which includes: marginal production costs, total net income and input-output ratio of duck egg production in various regions in Central Java, Indonesia. The study was conducted using a survey method using multi-stage sampling involving 120 duck farmers from the regency of Tegal, Brebes, and Pemalang. Each district was taken 40 farms as respondents by purposive random sampling with criteria for the number of breeders who had a minimum duck population of 100 ducks and a production period of 8-12 months. The analytical tools used include descriptive statistics and farm budgetary analysis. This study showed that duck breeders incur large costs to obtain production inputs, especially from feed aspects. Although three regencies reported profit based on the estimated input-output ratios, it is only a marginal profit that amounted to1: 1.382, 1:1.658, and 1:1.433 in Tegal, Brebes, and Pemalang, respectively. The conclusion of the study is the performance of duck farms in Central Java are still profitable even in the smallholder duck farm industry, with the highest profits obtained by farmers in Brebes Regency.

“…The result of the present study confirms what [8] has reported that the effect of age and education on change in knowledge level regarding goat farming due to specialized trainings on goat farming was not significant. Whereas, the result contradicts the results of the study conducted by Ezeibe et al [9] which revealed that educational level, together with farming experience, income level and farm size, are highly significant at 5% levels and positively related to the farmers' adoption of the improved poultry management practices [10].…”

Objectives/methods: The study assessed the effect of training on commercial poultry and table egg production on the knowledge level of farmers. Two training sessions were conducted in Oras and San Policarpo, Eastern Samar in the same venue and by the same team of resource persons that was participated by 200 farmers identified as beneficiaries of the SAAD program of the Philippine government. The topics covered during each of the two-day training session were on house construction, production management, feeding, health and sanitation, poultry farms and the environment, and record keeping and marketing. The knowledge level of the farmers was indicated by the scores they obtained during the pre-test and post-test administered immediately before and after the training. Findings/application: The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference in the knowledge level of the farmers before and after the training (t = 8.009, p = 0.000). The change in the knowledge level of the farmers due to the training on commercial poultry and table egg production was 33.14% on the average, and the effect size of the training was found large (ES = 1.22). Sex, age, and education were found to have no significant influence on the percent change in knowledge level among the farmer-respondents. It may be concluded from the study that the training on commercial poultry and table egg production has resulted a significant effect on the knowledge level of the farmers.

Political theories are a set of intellectual constructs and propositions that attempts the explication, analyses and prediction of political phenomena. Political theories are products of political philosophy, which itself finds essence in raising ideas that serve the needs of man in a political society. Social contract theories are therefore constructs and propositions which retrieve the nature of human existence in a pre-state historic society, and his better resolve to submit to constituted authority, for the purpose of peace, human rights and avoidance of man's inhumanity to man on the premise of comparative muscular superiority. The paper is saddled with the responsibility of x-raying the various theories of social contract to answer the question of the essence of the democratic state with the social contract, and its capacity to guarantee fundamental human rights, especially right to life in Nigeria. The paper employed documentary methodology and accessed secondary sources such as textbooks, and relevant online materials. The theoretical focus was the classical social contract theories of Thomas Hobbs, John Locke, and Jean-Jack Rousseau. Findings showed inter alia, that the Nigerian state, since the country's return to democracy in 1999, has dishonoured its own role in the social contract with its citizens. This has synthesized in flagrant abuse of fundamental human rights and consequently, increased insecurity extrajudicial killings among other forms of rising insecurity. We recommended among other things, leadership accountability and fulfillment of campaign promises as a means of reclaiming the confidence of the masses in the Nigerian state.
