Effect of Agricultural Extension Education on Farmers’ Adoption of Turkey Production Practices
Abstract
Turkey production involves the rearing and management of turkeys for meat, eggs, breeding, and other productive purposes. Appropriate turkey production practices are important for achieving healthy birds, good growth performance, efficient feed utilization, disease prevention, and improved farm profitability. Agricultural extension education can provide farmers with relevant knowledge, technical information, and practical skills needed to adopt recommended turkey production practices and improve the efficiency of their poultry enterprises. This study will examine the effect of agricultural extension education on farmers’ adoption of turkey production practices. The study will assess farmers’ exposure to extension education and determine how such education influences their adoption of recommended practices in turkey production. It will also examine the extent to which farmers apply knowledge gained through extension education in the management of their turkey enterprises. The study will focus on agricultural extension education, farmers’ knowledge of turkey production, housing management, brooding, feeding, watering, breed selection, stocking, sanitation, vaccination, disease prevention, biosecurity, record keeping, and general flock management. It will also consider farmers’ participation in extension training, demonstrations, advisory visits, and other educational activities related to improved turkey production. A quantitative research approach will be adopted for the study. Data will be collected from selected turkey farmers using structured questionnaires designed to obtain information on their exposure to agricultural extension education and adoption of turkey production practices. The data will be analysed using descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, percentages, mean scores, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to determine the relationship between extension education and farmers’ adoption of recommended turkey production practices. The study is expected to reveal that agricultural extension education may have a positive effect on farmers’ adoption of turkey production practices. Farmers who receive regular extension education may demonstrate greater adoption of appropriate housing, feeding, brooding, sanitation, vaccination, disease prevention, biosecurity, and record-keeping practices. The study may also reveal that inadequate extension contact, limited technical knowledge, high production costs, and insufficient access to veterinary and production information can constrain farmers’ adoption of improved turkey production practices. The study will be useful to turkey farmers, agricultural extension agents, poultry development agencies, veterinary personnel, agricultural development organizations, policymakers, and researchers. It may provide useful information on the contribution of extension education to improved turkey production and management. The findings may also assist extension organizations in developing practical educational programmes that improve farmers’ technical knowledge, management skills, and adoption of recommended practices for profitable turkey production. The study concludes that agricultural extension education is an important component of promoting farmers’ adoption of improved turkey production practices because appropriate education can enhance farmers’ knowledge and practical management skills. It is therefore recommended that agricultural extension agencies strengthen regular training, demonstrations, and advisory services on turkey housing, feeding, brooding, sanitation, vaccination, disease prevention, biosecurity, and record keeping to support efficient and sustainable turkey production.
