Small Ruminant Production on Small Farms in West Java, Indonesia: Preliminary Results of a Baseline Survey of Upland and Lowland Farming Systems

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 was 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.
