A STUDY OF BEEF PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-01) Yasmin, F.; Mohammed, Z. A.; Samsuddin, M. N.; Jamak, M. E. A.
Due to slow growth of beef production, it is necessary to find out the way to increase beef production. This study was aimed to estimate future beef production at the existing rate of calving, slaughter and mortality. The ex-post Simulation Matrix (SIMM) model used from the year 1970 to 1996 and ex-ante SIMM model used from the year 1997-2015 in Malaysia. The results indicated that beef production is not profitable and in future beef production will be increased but at slower rate in Malaysia. Female breeding stock of beef population needs to be increased with higher calving rate and lower slaughter rates.
COLLECTION TECHNOLOGY OF WOOL FOR MARKETING
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2014-01) Yasmin, F.; Talukdar, M. A. I.; Chowdhury, M. S. Z. H.
This research was conducted to find out the performance of sheep-wool in Bangladesh. A complex multi- equation system model is established to represent the collection of wool from sheep using both Annual Selling and Simulation Matrix (SIMM) Model Technologies. The objective of this research was to determine wool production, effective wool collection and marketing from sheep farming. The number of sheep like I, 10, 100, 1000 etc. is reared up by the small, medium large and commercial farmers. Results show sheep producer can sale all kids at the end of the year except selling female sheep and can collect I, 10, 100, lOOOkg wool from rearing 1, 10, 100, 1000 female sheep respectively. The shearing of wool twice and selling kids in a year can be a technology of wool collection. So if sheep-producers' target is only wool collection then needs establishing wool local market first. Therefore, at present raw and finished wool market needs to be established before starting wool production i.e. sheep farming.
FEMALE LABOUR WAGE AND THEIR WAGE GAP WITH MALE COUNTERPART IN SOME SELECTED AREAS OF BANGLADESH
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-07) Sannyashi, P. R.; Haque, S.; Yasmin, F.; Alam, M. S.
This study addressed the nature and extent of female wage labour and the wage gap with their male counterpart in the selected areas of Sirajgonj and Dhaka Districts of Bangladesh. There were four categories of labour. Farm survey method was used to collect primary data from the field labour and the rice mill worker and labour of construction work at few villages under Royganj, Tarash, and Salanga Upazilas of Sirajgonj and Dhaka district for the study. ANOYA and ANCOYA Models were used for analyzing the data set. It is noted that, the female labour's working hours/day, working days/week are much less than male labour that is why wage of female labours is much lower than the male labours in selected areas of Bangladesh. It is also noted that the wage rate is much lower in the case of female workers. The major findings of the study indicated the way of increasing income of female labour depends on the reduction of the wage gap (I 239Tklmonth).Therefore, the study firmly concluded with the recommendation that the wage (tklhr) of female worker should increase rationally for ensuring the equal treatment of both male and female.
PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS OF HYV BORO RICE UNDER DIFFERENT TENURE SYSTEMS IN JHENAIDAH DISTRICT OF BANGLADESH
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2014-07) Pervin, L.; Yasmin, F.; Begum, R.; Rahman, R.
An attempt has been made in this study to examine the profitability of Boro rice producing farms according to these three tenure groups such as owner, cash tenant and crop share tenant farmers. About 90 sample farmers, 30 owner farmers, 30 cash tenant farmers and 30 crop share tenant farmers were selected for the present study. The field survey was conducted over the period from July-September, 2014. The average gross returns per hectare were Tk. 108933.00, Tk. 119079.50 and Tk. 117368.48 in owner, cash tenant and crop share tenant farmers respectively. Gross return was higher of cash tenant farmer than other farmer but the total cost of production was higher in owner farmer and cash tenant farmer so their net return is lower than crop share tenant farmer. It was observed that per hectare net return was Tk. 14296.78. 27285.54 and 38615.72 for the owner. cash tenant and crop share tenant farmers respectively. Which indicates that crop share tenant farmer earned more profit than the other farmers.
THE IMPACT OF BEEF-POPULATION IMPORT-MANAGEMENT STRA TEGIES ON BEEF SELF -SUFFICIENCY IN MALAYSIA
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-07) Yasmin, F.; Mohamed, Z, A.; Samsudin, M. N.; Jamak, M. E. A.
The study has been aimed to evaluate beef self-sufficiency performance under different conditions in Malaysia. Simulation model under five scenarios of different managements was developed to analyze the impact on beef production in Peninsular Malaysia. Scenario 3 was found to be the best management to attain self-sufficiency level at reasonable time frame. Under scenario 3 (76-80% calving rate, 5-7% slaughter rate, 1-2% mortality rate of female breeding stock with 10000,5000,500 heads/year importation of female breeding stock for beef cattle, dairy cattle and buffalo respectively), 150% self-sufficiency can be achieved in 2015. The management of female breeding stock is an important component for beef production system in order to achieve the level of self-sufficiency in beef. The results indicated that lower slaughter rate of imported Female Breeding Stock (FSS) could be more suitable management strategy for higher beef self-sufficiency.
