“…Land and labor constraints are eased through the transformation of capital factors [ 1 ]. Therefore, the financial constraints are prominent, and high requirements are placed on the precision and flexibility of rural credit products and services [ 2 ]. In addition, the enthusiasm of herdsmen for pasture circulation is high, driven by the need to expand the scale and ensure the sense of fatness [ 3 ].…”

Herdsmen’s access to credit funds plays an important supporting role in promoting the modern economic development of pastoral areas and broadening the channels for herders to increase their income. This paper studies the credit behavior of herdsmen from the perspective of emotional and psychological state identification to analyze the current credit behavior of herdsmen. Firstly, the internal mechanism of herdsmen’s credit and emotional and psychological identification research content are analyzed. Secondly, a scheme of emotional and psychological state identification is proposed, and a corresponding survey of herdsmen is carried out according to the scheme. Finally, the Probit and Heckman models are introduced to analyze the credit behavior of herdsmen. The results show that herdsmen with high emotional and psychological scores strongly demand credit. They are likely to have access to credit and have a high level of credit. Herdsmen with low scores of emotional and psychological characteristics have low or no apparent demand for credit, and their credit availability is also low. The herdsmen with high emotional and psychological characteristics have a 71% higher probability of generating credit demand than herdsmen with low openness. Their likelihood of obtaining credit is also 33.47% higher than herdsmen with low emotional and psychological characteristics. They also have easy access to higher loan amounts. The results provide a reference for related research and analysis of herdsman’s credit behavior and economic development.

Objective: The success of the beef cattle business, of course, does not only improve input, production, and post-harvest management but also must be balanced with marketing management. Theoretical framework: A marketing agency is urgently needed in the beef cattle business to move the business from producers to consumers. A marketing agency can facilitate the movement of businesses up to the consumer level. These agencies have varied forms, such as individuals, associations, or individuals. Beef cattle marketing agencies are breeders, collector traders, and wholesalers. Method: The research was carried out in Merauke Regency. The research location was determined by purposive sampling or deliberately based on the consideration that Merauke Regency had the largest beef cattle population in Papua. The population in this research was beef cattle breeders and traders in Merauke Regency, taking three towns in each area with the biggest populace. The number of respondents who were taken was 15 breeders in each town, so the overall number of respondents was 45 breeders, whereas the census took dealers. The sampling of breeders was carried out using an accidental sampling technique and met the prerequisites, specifically, having sold hamburger cattle with more than five long times of cultivating encounters. Results and conclusion: The results of this research indicated that there were four marketing channels for beef cattle, namely breeders-final consumers, breeders–collector traders-final consumers, breeders- wholesalers-final consumers, breeders-collector traders-wholesalers-final consumers. The largest margin marketing agency was the wholesalers on marketing channel III of IDR 1.800,772/head, with a profit of IDR 1.450,772/head. Meanwhile, the lowest margin marketing agency was collector traders in marketing channel II of IDR 529,891/head, with a profit of IDR 261,891/head. The most productive showcasing channel utilized was channel II since it had a smaller advertise productivity esteem than promoting channel IV. Implications of the research: The beef cattle marketing system in Merauke consists of 4 marketing channels, namely breeders-final consumers, breeders–collector traders-final consumers, breeders-wholesalers-final consumers, breeders- collector traders-wholesalers-final consumers Originality: The novelty of this research lies in the range of research locations. So far, it has only focused on a few village areas and sub-districts, while the research covers all Merauke Regency sub-districts.

“…The aim of this study was to comprehensively characterise the network structure of cattle movements in Uganda based on official data collected in 2019. We considered this data to be an unaltered, representative overview of cattle movements before COVID-19 disrupted routine trading operations, distorting the collection of mobility data to date 33 , 34 . First, the annual static network is analysed as a snapshot of the cattle movements.…”

Animal movements are a major driver for the spread of Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs). These movements link populations that would otherwise be isolated and hence create opportunities for susceptible and infected individuals to meet. We used social network analysis to describe the seasonal network structure of cattle movements in Uganda and unravel critical network features that identify districts or sub-regions for targeted risk-based surveillance and intervention. We constructed weighted, directed networks based on 2019 between-district cattle movements using official livestock mobility data; the purpose of the movement (‘slaughter’ vs. ‘live trade’) was used to subset the network and capture the risks more reliably. Our results show that cattle trade can result in local and long-distance disease spread in Uganda. Seasonal variability appears to impact the structure of the network, with high heterogeneity of node and edge activity identified throughout the seasons. These observations mean that the structure of the live trade network can be exploited to target influential district hubs within the cattle corridor and peripheral areas in the south and west, which would result in rapid network fragmentation, reducing the contact structure-related trade risks. Similar exploitable features were observed for the slaughter network, where cattle traffic serves mainly slaughter hubs close to urban centres along the cattle corridor. Critically, analyses that target the complex livestock supply value chain offer a unique framework for understanding and quantifying risks for TADs such as Foot-and-Mouth disease in a land-locked country like Uganda. These findings can be used to inform the development of risk-based surveillance strategies and decision making on resource allocation. For instance, vaccine deployment, biosecurity enforcement and capacity building for stakeholders at the local community and across animal health services with the potential to limit the socio-economic impact of outbreaks, or indeed reduce their frequency.
