Profile of Sheep and Goat Markets in West Java, Indonesia

摘要

This paper characterizes selected small ruminant (sheep and goat) production systems and their economic role on small farms in West Java. It is a preliminary report of a baseline survey that has been made of an upland and a lowland ecozone, both of which are representative of large areas in West Java. An objective of this survey, for which data were collected in 1981, was to provide the basic socioeconomic information necessary to understand farmers' conditions and operating constraints. The reported results were intended to be used for the formulation of appropriate biological research programs, and include information on labor use, land holdings, capital, water and feed resources, and animal resources.
