الملخص EN
Sheep and goat farming is a major source of income in the rural areas of Al-Wadiah in Najran region of Southern Saudi Arabia.
The study aims to identify the factors and parameters that influence gender participationin sheep and goat farming.
Data were collected by interviewing 167 high school students, including 70 male and 97 female students, in Al-Wadiah, by using the simple random sampling technique.
Data were statistically analyzed to establish the relationship between gender and participationin sheep and goat farming.
The study revealed significant differences between the two genders, for instance, male herders were more experienced, received more benefits, showed greater interest in discussions on topics related to sheep and goat farming, followed information from TV and radio, and received more services offered by veterinary clinics, which proved more beneficial for them.
On the other hand, female herders received fewer services, and the veterinary clinics proved less beneficial for them.
However, the correlation between the participation of both genders in sheep and goats management was non-significant toward the statement ‘‘feeling ashamed of participating in sheep and goat farming.” Generally, sheep and goat rearing proves more beneficial for male participants than female participants, owing to their greater experience and interest in livestock farming.
Moreover, they receive more benefits from TV, radio and veterinary clinics to maintain better health of their livestock.
Both male and femaleherders contribute equally to sheep and goat farming by limiting the time spent on their daily routine.
This study would enable policymakers and planners to develop more strategies and extension education programs to overcome the identified barriers and improve the livelihood of herders through their enhanced participation in remote areas.
