“…Furthermore, the statistical test reveals a strong significant difference between the group means (t = 5.280, p = 0.000). This resounds the necessity of more training need for females compared to males, a conclusion that was also made by Jadav, Rani, Mudgal, and Dhamsaniya [13]. The moderate effect (d = 0.530) transforms this necessity into an obligation, considering the 63% poverty rate [40] and the above 40% unemployment rate [41] in the study area.…”

Beef cattle farming assumes a pivotal role in economic growth, household food security, and poverty alleviation in Eswatini. However, paucity of information dissemination, and competence are drawbacks that accord a steady annual increase in beef imports and a decline in exports. Therefore, the study conducted a gender-based comparative assessment of training needs for beef cattle farmers. Primary data were collected through personal interviews, guided by a reliability-tested questionnaire, from a sample of 397 farmers. The Borich Needs Assessment Model was adopted for data analysis and inferential statistics were employed to evaluate statistically significant differences between the gender groups. On a scale of 5, farmers were found to be less proficient (M = 1.891, SD = 0.529) in cattle production and agribusiness management practices. Female farmers were significantly less proficient than males (t = −6.004, p = 0.000). Statistically significant differences in mean weighted discrepancy scores (t = 5.280, p = 0.000) revealed a strong training need for females compared to men. It is recommended that dissemination of training information should be prioritized as follows: (1) agribusiness management concepts, (2) feed and feeding concepts, (3) cattle health concepts, (4) farmer-organizational concepts, (5) farm structures, and (6) breeding and rearing concepts.

Animal husbandry is an integral component of rural farmers and female dominated enterprise in India. It is established beyond a shadow of doubt that women always participated in animal husbandry activities in addition to their daily household chores. In spite of active involvement of farm women, their contribution are undermined, underestimated and lack of exposure and assess to new technology has restricted to show their full potential for the growth of livestock sector. Training is one of the important aspects, which can enhance knowledge, improve skill and change the attitude of farm women. Keeping this in view, present study was thought to be taken out with to measure the training needs of farm women about improved animal husbandry practices in Saurashtra region of Gujarat state, India. Because of Saurashtra region has significant contribution of local cows (45%) among the different region of state. The present investigation was conducted in Junagadh and Gir-Somnath districts of Saurashtra Region which was purposively selected. Two talukas selected from each selected district and three villages were from each purposively selected taluka having more population of cattle and buffalo. Ten respondents from each selected village were taken by using random sampling technique with a condition that the farm women have been rearing animals on their farm at least 3 years or having herd. Thus, total 120 farm women were selected for research purpose. The result of the research study revealed that the most important training needs areas were; construction of scientific low-cost cattle shed (89.17 per cent), followed by selection of breed (86.67 per cent),infertility problems and reproductive disorder (54.16 per cent),chaffing of fodder (53.34 per cent) and watering animal (48.34 per cent). The health care management was information on infectious diseases (87.50 per cent), fodder production is preservation of fodder crops (hay/silage making) (72.50 per cent), hygienic method of clean milk production (55.00 per cent) and use of mineral mixtures/common salt (47.50 per cent). In marketing practices like banking and insurance (91.67 per cent), followed by marketing of livestock and store milk in summer season (88.34 per cent), farm women had low level of knowledge about the loan facility (65.83 per cent) and loan interest rate (67.50 per cent). The overall preference of training needs of farm women on improved dairy farming practices, housing facility (2.69 mean score) was the most preferred training area of rural women (first ranked) followed by health care practices (2.59 mean score), fodder production (2.56 mean score) got second and third ranked, respectively. The financial practices, breeding practices, marketing practices, feeding practices, management practices, daily practices and milk products making got fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth ranked, respectively. So, the study implies that respondents were interested to receive training on improved dairy farming practices for their betterment and soci...

“…In case of breeding, the less training needs may be due to the fact that many of these practices are done by men because it requires greater strength and contact with people from outside the village. In the same context, Jadav et al(2014) sees that since the major farm operations of breeding, require outside contact, the involvement of women farmers was less and this might be the reason for the women farmers' preference of these major farm operations as the least preferred areas of training.…”
