Abstract

Postmortem survey of small ruminant pregnancy wastage was conducted at Kumasi Abattoir Ltd, Kaase. Abattoir visits and investigations were conducted on 16 randomly selected abattoir working days. All mature ewes and does slaughtered on selected abattoir working days (mean = 71.69 animals/day) were included in the study, giving a total of 1,147 animals (301 ewes and 846 does). The reproductive tracts of study animals were collected at slaughter line and the uterus were grossly inspected for pregnancy. Thereafter, uterine body and horns were longitudinally incised to check the lumen for a visible fetus. The type of pregnancy (single or twin) was recorded and crown-rump length (CRL) of the largest fetus was demarcated on a piece of string and measured on a standard measuring tape. The length of gestation was estimated using the formula; Developmental Age (Days) = 2.1(Y+17), where Y = the CRL in “cm”. A survey was conducted within the premises of the Kumasi abattoir to estimate the average prices of matured small ruminants to calculate the prevailing market value of small ruminants. The potential economic impact of small ruminant abattoir fetal wastage was estimated by calculating the gross economic value and net economic value forgone due to loss of potential offspring. Kumasi Abattoir Annual Off-take was estimated to be 26,095 small ruminants where 73.8% were does and 26.2% were ewes. Pregnant does slaughtered had 37.2% of them carrying single foetus and 12.5% carrying twin foetus whereas pregnant ewes slaughtered had 28.9% carrying single foetus and 9.3% carried twin foetus. Total pregnancy wastage recorded had 3.7% early pregnancy and 96.3% mid-pregnancy with no late pregnancy recorded. Economic losses due to pregnancy wastage was estimated to be from GHS 2,755,140.80 to 3,534,791.80. The greater amounts of foetal waste encountered, places a substantial risk not only to the livestock production sector, but also to the economy of the nation.

Abstract

Organic farming and organic food market have been growing around the world for many years. In Myanmar, organic food is in the early stage for production and marketing. The study aims to analyse the determinants of the consumers’ purchase intention and attitudes toward organic food and the role of sociodemographic characteristics. The data was collected from 80 consumers of Nay Pyi Taw Region using structured questionnaires. The findings indicated that 38 percent of the respondents perceived that they were fully aware of organic food, organic agriculture and their differences with conventional food and agriculture. Among the respondents, 61 percent were willing to pay premium price for organic food. The results indicated that age and household size of the respondents were not significantly associated with the respondents’ awareness level of organic food, purchase intention, the premium price the respondents were willing to pay, expected consumption frequency in the future and checking before buying while these variables were positively associated with the education level of the respondents. These variables were also significantly different according to the respondents’ occupation types and residential places. Regression analysis predicted that the respondents’ income, ratio of food expense and income, education level, awareness level of organic food and the premium price they are willing to pay have significant impacts on their purchase intention in the future. The findings from this study contributed the importance of the respondents’ sociodemographic characteristics on purchase intention and attitudes toward organic food for further research.

Abstract

Nowadays, processed natural rubber products such as crumb rubber have become the demands of global consumers who are oriented towards export markets. Therefore, the economic impact is felt more, but there are still other consequences. The consequences are not only economically beneficial but can also be detrimental to environmental conditions. The process of making natural rubber into crumb rubber causes a negative impact by means of air pollution in the form of odour, which is rarely noticed. The purposes of this study were to analyse the ammonia concentration resulting from the processing of natural rubber into crumb rubber, and to identify the impact of ammonia contamination on the environment, particularly human health. This research was conducted using a review method with the help of colandr machine learning. The results of the review show that the concentration of ammonia produced from the processing of natural rubber into crumb rubber in Indonesia has passed the specified quality standard threshold. It is found to impact the environment such as damage to aquatic ecosystems and air quality, as well as effects on human health such as respiratory problems.

Abstract

In the past decades, climate change has become a disruptive issue in agriculture. This paper provides a brief problem analysis of the current status of selected agricultural farmlands along Bicol River basin (BRB) in the province of Camarines Sur. Six barangays from initially identified vulnerable municipalities were assessed on their respective community’s agricultural problems. Two barangays from each from the municipality in Baao, Canaman and Minalabac, were targeted as participating sites in the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). The paper aimed to survey insights into the dynamics of problems in agriculture-based problems of these communities and to identify priorities needed for the improvement of farm productivity. A problem tree analysis revealed that sixty-seven percent (67%) of the sites claimed that problem’s root cause was the absence of water source for efficient farming irrigation. Oppositely, thirty-three percent (33%) of the participating communities pinpointed the base problems to prolonged flooding that hampers the ideal farm yield. Other problems mentioned included unavailability of advanced farming technologies, low harvest rates due to climate shift, high cost of farming inputs such as fertilizers and labor, access to farm to market roads, low farm gate price of harvested products and lack of trees to aide in flood prevention. The study further revealed that either water scarcity or effects of rainfall intensities are the key problems faced by agricultural communities in the selected areas.

Abstract

Melitourism, a special entomotourism featuring stingless bees as an agritourism attraction, remains less popular and underrated in Southeast Asian countries despite its economic benefits. This study assessed the melitourism potential of Bali, Indonesia, and Bicol, Philippines, through a qualitative approach using various indicators such as financial capital, market, social capital, environment, technology, policy, human capital, culture, and farm tourism as foundations for a melitourism social enterprise. Identification of these indicators was based on a literature review, and these became the basis of an interview guide designed for stingless bee operators. Findings showed that meliponiculture in Bali and Bicol offers a lot of promise as a social enterprise and tourism development. The stingless beekeeping industry dominated the aspects of environmental, technological, market, and social capital. Farmer groups provide a support system resulting in strong social capital. Compared to Bali, Bicol is quite advanced in agritourism integration in stingless bee farms. Melitourism is a good means of engaging the public to contribute towards a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem for stingless beekeeping. Incorporating the tourism aspect in meliponiculture is a good economic diversification strategy that would enhance farm productivity and encourage farmers to engage in ethical practices that help maintain a healthy stingless bee population both on farms and in the wild. However, to hasten farmer engagement and melitourism development, local and national governments must strengthen their policy infrastructure and support this industry. Keywords— melitourism, entomotourism, stingless beekeeping, apitourism, meliponiculture.

Abstract

Okara tempe has been traditionally consumed as low-cost meat substitute. This study aims to evaluate the textural properties of sausage as affected by partial meat substitution using okara tempe. Two types of sausages were tested, namely cellulose-cased and collagen-cased sausages with the level of meat substitution at 0, 10, and 20 %. The scope of assessment includes texture profile analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and sensory evaluation. The results showed that increasing okara tempe concentration led to a decreasing hardness and resilience of sausage samples. Microscopy images revealed fractal structure on the inner surface of okara tempe-substituted sausages that might be responsible for weakening of the structure. Consumers’ appreciation on sausage texture tended to be decreased with the increasing concentration of okara tempe. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering analysis distributed the consumer panels into two clusters with slightly different hedonic scoring pattern. Lastly, although the okara tempe-substituted sausages had a weaker structure, the means of hedonic scores of all sausage samples were within positive response range indicating consumers’ acceptance to the okara tempe-substituted sausages.
