- W87075560 abstract "Recent anecdotal reports of violence among livestock farmers and local residents in Ghana over grazing rights and unauthorized location of cattle ranches especially at Mampong and its environs and elsewhere across Ghana and the brouhaha about Fulani herdsmen brought to our attention the need to assess the level of Regulation, Compliance and Awareness among livestock farmers in the livestock subsector in Ghana. We interviewed 40 farmers who were into Rabbit rearing, Poultry, Sheep, Goats, Pigs and Grass cutter rearing. The survey was carried out in the Ga East and Ga West Municipal Assemblies as well as Akuapem South Municipal Assembly. Communities around Abokobi, Amasaman and Pokuase, part of Mampong in the eastern Region of Ghana were involved. The results showed that 54% of the respondents were natives of their communities whilst 46% were non natives and these were comprised of 66% males and 32% females. In addition, their educational levels indicated that 27% had higher education whilst 73% had lower education level. With regards to management methods, 68%, 0% and 32% practiced intensive, free-range and semi-intensive systems respectively. Out of the total number of farmers interviewed, 10% were aware of LI 1652 and 90% of them did not know. With regards to interaction with the Assemblies of their activities, 66% had interaction with the Assembly but 34% did not. 66% indicated that the Assembly visited their farms whilst 32% indicated that the Assembly did not visit them.Data collected indicated that 54% of the farmers belonged to Farmer based Associations whilst 46% were not. It is obvious from this survey that majority of the farmers did not know about the Laws that control their activities in relation to the environment in which they operate. Therefore, it is recommended that education and compliance monitoring must be elevated by the Municipal, Metropolitan and District Assemblies in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency so as to control the menace of uncontrolled livestock rearing as well as the activities of Fulani herdsmen." @default.
