8. Final recommendation for micro level situation:

To 3 - CORH-3 variety performs well under saline condition and also fetch good market price. This hybrid should be popularized through

organizing more FLDs for further dissemination to the fellow farmers.

9. Constraints identified and feedback for research:

Saline resistant variety seeds are bold in size; hence they have less market value. The popular variety BPT 5204 is a medium fine type having higher marketability, but susceptible to saline situation.

10. Process of farmers participation and their reaction:

Location specific need based farmers are identified through regular field visits and group discussion made among the farmers. Willing progressive

farmers are selected for this on farm testing. Farmers actively participated in this trial programme to know the suitable variety for saline situation.

Paired row system of cultivation gave higher (To2) overall yield, whereas the finger size is not upto the marketing quality

Height of plant increased in 30% plants, leading to risk in lodging. Flowering percentage reduced. size of the bunch is not in marketing quality

Yes, for next year assessment, paired row system with 1.5mx1.5mx2m spacing, 2x3m spacing with 2 sucker per hill

In the present method the density of population is very high by altering the spacing with 30% increase in population with farmer practice of 2x2m spacing, reducing the number of sucker per hill will give good results

8. Constraints identified and feedback for research : Plant height increased with reduced pseudostem girth, bunch weight

reduced due to less number of fingers with small size and difficult to

market this is all due to less space for light penetration. By slightly

altering the spacing and reducing the sucker per hill will give good

result.

8. Final recommendation for micro level situation : The assessed practice to be popularized through organizing more FLDs and

also making possibilities for getting the enzyme to be available in local markets.

9. Constraints identified and feedback for research : Retting process is more applicable in extracting the banana fibre than hand stripping. Even

though the quality of the fibre (fibre strength) is better in hand stripped fiber but the drudgery

(increase in working heart rate and fibre outcome) seems to be poor when compared to

retting process. While retting in biological enzyme (CAP), the quality of the fibre scores high

and reduces maximum drudgery. While in xylanase, the quality is same as CAP but the

tensile strength scores less and the enzyme is not easily available in local markets.

10. Process of farmer’s participation and their reaction: conducted training programme, field days and demonstration of the process techniques to adopt this technology and the farmwomen gives better feedback about this technology.

Turkey farming

Background:

Turkey farming can provide a new concept to the poultry farmers engaged in desi birds production. Turkey is a meat type bird as egg production of this species is very low. Turkey meat is of high nutritional value as it is a rich source of animal protein containing all essential amino acids required in human diet. Turkey meat contains high protein and is low in fat and cholesterol than chicken and duck meat. Turkey bird is easy to raise, does not require any special attention, is hardy and is less prone to diseases as compared to chicken. Turkey is completely resistant to Merek’s disease and Infectious bronchitis. Turkey can also be reared in free range or semi intensive system with minimum investment for housing, equipments and management. So Turkey farming offers good scope and potential. It also provides supplementary income to the rural persons. Keeping in view, realizing the scope of income that the farmers can generate through turkey farming, our Kendra has conducted training programme on “Turkey Farming” with the goal of women empowerment in agri-based enterprises and self employment opportunities in animal husbandry.

Mrs.B.Dhanam, W/o. Mr.T.Balu of Velayapannaikalam village, Kulithalai Taluk, Karur District is a housewife who does not own any agricultural land. She was actively seeking for self employment venture to look after her children’s study. She had contacted our Kendra, underwent training on Dairy cattle management, goat rearing, Turkey farming and Desi bird rearing. Among this, turkey farming impressed her a lot, she decided to earn income through turkey farming under backyard system.

Objective:

To improve the income and self employment

Intervention – Process and Technology

After successful completion of the training, our Kendra provided 100 turkey poults of 2 weeks age to 10 women including Mrs.B.Dhanam, as a Front line demonstration considering their interest and self employment opportunity of the farmers. They reared the birds as per the procedure taught during the training programme. In order to reduce the feed cost, they were advised to prepare their own feed and provide green grasses, vegetable wastages, egg shell wastages, etc. All birds were vaccinated and dewormed as per the schedule with the help of KVK. The birds attained 5-6 kg of live weight at the age of 16 weeks. Due to shortage of resources for feeding the birds and killing by the animals like mongoose and dogs, many of the farmers could not continue the turkey farming. However, Mrs.B.Dhanam is running this farm in spite of many hurdles. Through our Kendra support, she made a small housing with the thatched roof which is covered with low cost fencing. The birds started laying at the age of 18 weeks. The eggs were hatched by natural brooding using turkeys and desi chickens. She is getting 40 chicks per month. Market linkage was provided by the Kendra and also she is selling the chicks to nearby market.

Impact

Income generation

The farmer is getting 40 chicks per month. The chicks were sold at one month age at the rate of Rs.100/chick. The feed cost is. Rs. 1500/- per month and profit is Rs. 2500/ per month. Now she is getting regular income of Rs.2500/- per month, which plays a role to improve her standard of living and her economic status. By seeing the growth and achievement in her life, other people started showing interest towards turkey rearing. Our Kendra will continue to extend our support and help to expand her farm and to run in a more profitable way.

Case study Employment and income generation in piggery farming Livestock rearing provides a regular employment and flow of income throughout the year even during periods of prolonged drought, when crops fail to sustain the rural livelihood. Pig farming can fit into diverse systems of management and can be taken up as a full or subsidiary activity. Pigs are the most efficient convertors of feed into edible meat. Pigs utilize garbage, garden waste and discarded feeds very effectively. The returns are quick and the investment is relatively low, when they are fed with farm and kitchen wastes. They are highly prolific, giving about 8 to 12 piglets per farrowing. Pigs can be managed in different ways, they can be bought in and sold off at different stages of growth. Keeping these in view, realizing the scope of income that the farmers can generate income through piggery farming, our Kendra established a demonstration and training unit for pig rearing at the campus.

District background

Karur district lies between 10º 45" and 11º 45" North Latitude and between 77º 45" and 78º 07" East Longitude and with an altitude of 78 M above the sea level. The district has an

area of 2895 sq. Km. The district falls under the agro climatic zone of the southern plateau and hills with semi-arid and dry sub-humid climate. Red soil is predominant in the district. The total livestock population in the district is 4,76,775. The year wise population growth of pigs in the district is given below:

Table 1: Year-wise trend in population growth of white pigs in the district.

Year White pig population Production Productivity 2007-2008 6123 6,25,000 kg -

2008-2009 10205 8,90,625 kg Male: 300 kg Female:200 kg

Continuous increase in pig population and the availability of waste feed materials for

pigs and marketing facility clearly indicated the scope of pig farming in the Karur district.

Identification of problems A baseline survey was carried out to identify the problems and needs of the farmers through individual and group discussions and the following problems were identified.

1. Non availability of good and improved breeds at farmers level 2. Lack of necessary skills and knowledge of piggery management 3. Marketing facility 4. Non availability of labours due to religious and social taboos

Process Disseminations of the Technology KVK played a key role in motivating the rural youths for adopting piggery farming as a source of extra income along with existing occupation. Training programmes were organized for the benefit of farmers on management of piggery farming to enhance their knowledge. Training programme covered important topics like breeding, feeding, animal health care, piglet rearing etc. Apart from the training programmes, KVK was conducting demonstrations, farm advisory services for effective transfer of technology. Prepared CD and booklets on scientific pig rearing for better understanding of the farmers.

Farmers visit to KVK

Farmers’ visits were arranged to the KVK piggery demonstration unit. Few farmers

were also motivated by other farmers for adopting piggery units. Farmers from the surrounding area visited the field units and then came to the KVK to get expert opinion on starting of the piggery unit.

Supply of good breeds

The piggery unit in our KVK is being run under revolving fund scheme and is producing healthy pigs for supply to the farmers of this area and to the trainees.

Technology Support and Linkage

The KVK provided timely services and technical inputs to the farmers. The rural piggery farmers utilize the advisory service timely to the find the solution for their problems. The KVK extended the support to the trainees in preparation of project report, follow up with the respective banks, construction of buildings of the unit, procurement of breeding stock, vaccination and other health cover, maintenance of records and marketing of pigs. A good linkage was developed with animal husbandry department and Veterinary University Training and Research Centre for their involvement in piggery extension programmes. Marketing

Since pork has a high demand, the major concern of the KVK was to see that the piggery owners obtain remunerative price without getting exploited by middle man. With this objective, the KVK had opened a marketing window for the piggery farmers to sell the pigs directly to the semi whole seller/retailer. This helped the piggery farmers to sell the pigs at a remunerative rate at farm gate. Impact

With interventions of KVK, 12 piggery farms were established by trainees and farmers in Kulithalai block, Karur district. The size of the piggery unit initially varied from 10 female +1 male to 50 female +5 male animals. The average income from piggery units ranged from 2000 to 15000 per month. Socio - economic characteristics

In order to widen its coverage, it is necessary to ascertain the employment and income generation of the farmers who had taken up piggery farming with the support of KVK. The data on house holds, herd size number of pigs and income and expenditure from farm activities relating to the year 2008-2009 were gathered through structured, pretested interview schedule. The data were coded and tabulated (Table:3).
