Abstract :
The study was done in Gazelle District of East
New Britain Province from October-November, 2020.
Cluster farmer groups of four ecological communities
were randomly selected for the study. It was conducted
to assess the adoption of two farming systems; extensive
and intensive farming systems. Four constrains were
introduced to the farmers to provide likelihood evidence
on lack of livestock intensification. The data was
processed using spread sheet MS 2010 to present the
parameter proportions in pie charts. Lack of livestock
knowledge and skills (53%) was identified as one of the
main challenges of livestock intensification in rural
farming communities. Livestock farmers require
evaluation strategies from the co-corporative efforts of
government agencies, economic facilitators and
institution to design a sustainable training package for
livestock farmers.
