    Indonesia : empowering rural producers organisation. Final report May 2003

    No full text
    This report presents the results from a study called "Empowering Rural Producers Organisations" undertaken by a Team of Cirad scientists with the collaboration of Indonesian counterparts between January and February 2003, upon request of the World Bank and with the support of a Trust Fund from the French Government. The objective of the study on "Empowering Rural Producers organization" as stated in the Terms of Reference is "...to carry out a more in depth assessment of the status of empowering rural producer organizations (RPOs) and their possible future in Indonesia. ...to provide indications for the future construction of the FEATI project (Farmer Empowerment for Agricultural Technology and Information) in particular concerning: (1) the conditions necessary for rural producer organizations (RPOs) to emerge in Indonesia, (2) the interest of a better linkage between RPOs and government organizations or public service providers and (3) the conditions for such linkage to work"

    DNA analysis for checking the identity of rubber clones in budwood gardens of Cambodia : Mission from 21 May to 4 June 2011

    This specific reports aims at presenting DNA analysis for clonal identity checking, as well as proposals and the results of one series of 96 DNA analyses of samples collected from Cambodia during the mission (Crri, Chup, Krek, Royal Caoutchouc). These results are presented as an example of what could be carried out with Cirad for the certification of "reference budwood gardens" or for the publication of a list of budwood gardens from the private sector which successfully pass a quality test. Cirad proposes to address the checking of the 123 units of budwood gardens of the private sector (smallholders), of more than 0.20 ha, which make 90 % of the total. Based on 3 samples per unit, a total of 369 analyses should be carried out in priority. This would allow one to identify the budwood gardens of good quality (no mistake found among three samples), and would provide an accurate evaluation of the global budwood garden quality in the private sector. Further development should then be considered

    Farmers' strategies and improved rubber agroforestry systems : planting fruit and timber trees with rubber. Tapping practices and rubber production. Farming system analysis. Support mission report n° 2 Indonesia and Thailand from 29 may to 10 june 2006

    The second phase of SRAP occurred from 1998 to 2004 with D Boutin (CIRAD-CP) as team leader. The third phase began with the launch of the project on "Improving the productivity of rubber smallholdings through Rubber Agroforestry Systems", funded by the CFC, called SRAS. A first technical support mission has been implemented in February 2005, undertaken by E. Penot and JM Eschbach, from CIRAD. The purpose of this second mission (May-June 2006) is the following: - inspecting field trials, holding discussions and making recommendations, particularly for tapping (JM Eschbach), - analysis of the technicaVeconomic simulation and modelling implemented with the software "Olympe" developed by INRA, CIRAD and IAMM (E. Penot). Proposal for further analysis and set-up of a farming system reference monitoring network. Further research is suggested on associated trees with rubber in RAS systems, in particular in terms of outputs in order to feed the model with detailed and accurate data on agroforestry systems and impact on farmers 's income. The mission was composed of Gede Wibawa (Indonesia), Laxman Joshi (Thailande), Eric Penot and Jean Marie Eschbach with the participation of ICRAF staff

    La reproduction des bovins. Cas de la zone tropicale (surtout taurins N'Dama et Baoule) : Cours de Master 2e année. Biologie géosciences agroressources et développement (BGAE). Elevage des pays du sud, environnement et développement (EPSED)

    Les bovins tropicaux comprennent des taurins, des zébus, des sanga et des croisements divers. Les performances de reproduction sont beaucoup plus faibles en milieu villageois qu'en milieu contrôlé. Quelques données sur l'anatomie de l'appareil génital mâle et femelle des zébus et de taurins Baoulé sont exposées. Puis dont envisagés les méthodes d'étude et les résultats de la fonction sexuelle mâle et femelle. La production de spermatozoïdes est plus faible que chez les bovins de zones tempérées. Elle permet toutefois de constituer des stocks de semence. La puberté des génisses est tardive. En race N'Dama et Baoulé, les 2/3 des oestrus, de durée courte (9-12 h) et d'intensité assez faible peuvent être détectés par 2 observations de 30 minutes par jour vers 7 h et vers 15 h en Côte d'Ivoire. Le dosage de la progestérone peut être utilisé en races N'Dama et Baoulé comme pour les bovins européens. La reprise de l'activité post-partum dépend fortement du mois de vêlage. Les méthodes d'étude des performances de reproduction en milieu contrôlé et dans le cas des enquêtes en milieu villageois sont passées en revue. La pathologie de la reproduction est évoquée avec l'infertilité, les avortements et la trypanosomose. Les critères de choix des reproducteurs mâles et femelles sont exposés. La synchronisation des chaleurs est possible en races N'Dama et Baoulé, au moyen d'implants sous-cutanés ou de spirales vaginales. L'insémination artificielle est assez peu utilisée en Afrique en raison de contraintes importantes malgré les avantages de cette technique liés surtout à l'amélioration génétique. Les résultats assez faibles du transfert embryonnaire en Afrique limitent son utilisation surtout à la recherche. Avec le respect strict des techniques qui doivent être adaptées aux races tropicales, la pathologie et l'alimentation (souvent liée à la saison) paraissent les principaux facteurs responsables des performances de reproduction faibles en zone tropicale
