Among vegetable farmers in Jordan, there are conflicting attitudes towards the extension activities provided by the public sector. Some farmers accept and adopt the recommendations of these activities; on the other hand, some people are not satisfied and consider these activities a waste of time for both the farmers and the government. This situation has serious impacts on the quality, duration and efficiency of the extension activities provided by government related agencies. Also, the situation will end in providing low-quality agricultural extension services to the farmers or providing these services in a non-productive manner. The actual attitudes of vegetable farmers towards Public Agricultural Extension Services (PAES) in the Dear Alla Area of Jordan were investigated in this study. A total of 80 vegetable farmers were selected for the study. A questionnaire consisting of two main parts was used for data collection; the first part was related to personal and socio-economic characteristics of the sample individuals. The second part was related to extension activities. A five-point Likerttype scale was used as an instrument to gather primary data. The farmers rated their attitudes toward Public Agricultural Extension Services (PAES) through 10 statements related carefully to the Public Agricultural Extension Services. Data analysis was done in two sections, consisting of data description and data inferential analysis. The results of the study revealed that the farmers’ overall attitude towards the public agricultural extension activities was negative. The farmers’ attitudes according to age, experience, educational level and frequency and type of contact with public extension services were also negative. The negative attitude of the participant farmers towards the Public Agricultural Extension Services means that the farmers were not satisfied with these services. Identifying the sources and types of public extension programs, the provision of legal and policy framework, farmer’ participation, the determination of public extension functions, providing skilled manpower and networking and enhancing the capabilities of public extension service providers may aid in changing the farmers’ attitudes towards the Public agricultural extension services to be positive.
The aim of this study was to evaluate producers' attitude towards livestock insurance in Jordan. A 100 broiler producers were surveyed. All the country governorates were resembled in the sample. The collected data covered an average of six production cycles with an average of 7500 birds per cycle. Producers' attitudes regarding livestock insurance was measured by producers ratings on a Likert-type scale. Five point Likert type scale with ratings on a 10 item Likert-type questions was used. The ratings ranged from 1-5 (strongly agree). A numerical value was assigned to each potential choice and a mean figure for all the responses was computed. The final average score represents overall level of broiler producers' attitude toward livestock insurance in Jordan. Results revealed that the producers' overall mean score for attitude was 3.31, indicating a positive attitude toward the adoption of livestock insurance. The results revealed a strong relationship between the preference of the producers that the livestock insurance should not be compulsory and the importance of livestock insurance in helping the damaged producers with the acceptance of livestock insurance by the broiler producers. The expected effect of livestock insurance in reducing the producers stress, the awareness of the broiler producers about livestock insurance benefits, the producers' considerations of livestock insurance as a personal savings, the expected effect of livestock insurance to protect against future fluctuations in production and the expected benefits of livestock insurance to provide equal protection among broiler producers are very important factors in enhancing the positive attitude of the producers toward livestock insurance. Results revealed that producers had a positive attitude towards livestock insurance.
This study was conducted to introduce a comparative economic analysis of sheep production systems in Jordan. A total of 156, 28 and 16 stockowners adopting transhumant, mixed farming and nomadic sheep production systems, respectively, were interviewed. A structured questionnaire was designed to obtain information from respondents about socio-economic profiles, total variable costs, annual revenues, net income, and animal productivity. Three important and traditional discounted financial indicators were used in the study, the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the Benefits-Costs ratio (B/C). The results showed that all the indicators used in the study were acceptable in the three investigated sheep production systems. The NPV for the nomadic production system was highest according to the net cash flows estimated in the study. It was positive and acceptable. The IRR for this system was 166 % and the B/C approximately 2. These values indicated that the nomadic sheep production system in Jordan is the most profitable one compared to the other two systems. The transhumant production system is in the second place and the mixed farming system is the last one. Profitability of the nomadic system is affected by the presence of the proper strategies to decrease costs of production and to increase income. Feed expenses for the flock in this system are minimal. Full dependence on natural resources, a minimum amount of supplemental feeding, and the limited demand for inputs are major reasons for this system to be more profitable than the other two sheep production systems.
Assessing economic sustainability is crucial to measure livestock enterprise success. This study is aimed at assessing the economic sustainability of broiler enterprises in Jordan. To achieve the goals of this study, 94 broiler farms were surveyed. A multi-stage sampling technique, descriptive statistics, and simple economic analysis were adopted. The investigated farms’ economic viability, which is the best indication for sustainability, is measured through profitability, liquidity and productivity indicators. The values of the economic sustainability indicators used in this study to assess profitability, liquidity, and productivity showed that the broiler sector in Jordan is economically viable and sustainable. Investors in livestock activities in Jordan are advised to invest in the broiler industry as it is with high economic sustainability.
Background and Objective: Due to the world trend to reduce the use of antibiotics in the treatment of diseases and as growth promoters, there is a need for the use of healthy natural alternatives that are environmentally safe products in order to maintain good production and to improve egg quality and characteristics. Therefore, objective of study was to use hawthorn leaves and flowers as natural alternatives for improving and maintaining the production of egg and its characteristics. Methodology: An experiment testing the addition of hawthorn powder to layer hen feed was conducted at Jerash University experimental station. One hundred twenty, of 18 weeks age, Hyline pullets were randomly distributed over three treatments each with four replicates. The three treatments were normal feed (control), feed with 0.1% hawthorn powder and feed containing 0.2% hawthorn powder. Results: The results indicated that there was no significant (p>0.05) improvement in hen day production percentage. The results also revealed that addition of hawthorn powder to the laying hen feed resulted in more stable egg production, improved egg weight, improved egg shape and eggshell thickness. The results also showed that hawthorn addition decreased the eggshell percentage to total egg weight. Egg yolk weight, egg diameter, egg yolk height, albumen weight and height were improved by adding hawthorn to layer feed. Cholesterol content was reduced. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study it is recommended to add hawthorn dried plant leaves and flowers powder to layer feed for improved and stable egg production, egg weight and egg shape.
This study aimed at assessing the use of agricultural marketing extension services among extension methods provided by public agricultural extension agents in Jordan. A sample survey of public agricultural extension agents was conducted covering the whole Agricultural Directorates in the country. The survey employed a structured questionnaire with pre-coded questions. The entire sample consists of 107 agricultural extension agents. To achieve its goals qualitative as well as quantitative analytical procedures were adopted in this study. A Four-point likert-scales was used to compute the respondent’s overall mean score. The study provided empirical evidence about the lack of agricultural marketing extension among extension methods used by public extension agents in Jordan. Public extension agents in Jordan consider agricultural marketing extension with low priority during their extensive activity. Public agricultural extension activities should be directed to enhance marketing extension activities. Extension methods such as newspapers, radio, TV, mobile, internet and experts’ systems should be strongly considered to spread marketing knowledge to the farmers.

Abstract B. Aldeseit & A. Al-Sharafat (2021) A simple procedure to reduce production risk in vegetables double cropping: An evidence from Jordan. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 27 (1), 22–28 Determination of optimum combination of cropping area of two or more crops to be produced is crucial issue to reduce production risks. This study investigated a simple optimization procedure to minimize production risks. The procedure concentrated on making the optimum use of land in double cropping of tomatoes and cucumber. The analysis was carried out using eleven combinations of cultivated land area ranging from 0% to 100% for each of the two crops. The study utilized data related to cultivated areas, quantities of production and wholesale market prices of tomato and cucumber crops for a period of 10 years (2008-2017). The data were retrieved and downloaded from the website of the Jordanian Department of Statistics. The results of the study suggest that double cropping of tomatoes and cucumber in Jordan is a useful cultivation system in reducing production risks by growing 30% of the area with tomatoes and 70% of the area with cucumber. The study recommended that agricultural extension activities should be directed to encourage farmers to benefit from simple land use optimization procedures in their double cropping activities for best land resource allocation such as the one adopted in this study. Keywords: Jordan; land use; vegetables; optimization; coefficient of variation; double cropping.
