Factors affecting Entrepreneurship in Livestock Production among Rural Households in Osun State, Nigeria

Abstract

were determinants of entrepreneurship in livestock production among rural farmers. The signs of all the four 
statistically significant estimated parameters conformed to the a priori expectations with the exception of 
level of education that carried a negative sign. To improve entrepreneurial skills and competencies, training, 
seminars, and workshops on livestock farming and formal education were recommended. There is need for 
training of rural livestock farmers on market orientation and input-output negotiations to enhance better 
bargaining ability of livestock farmers on both input acquisition and product sales.
