Cattle Rearing and Livestock Farming On the Mambilla Plateau, Northeast Nigeria
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Economic History
Abstract
This analysis examines the agrarian sector as a strong rural base, with emphasis on cattle rearing and livestock farming as the bedrock for agricultural development and ultimately rural development on Mambilla Plateau, northeast Nigeria. In fact, without cattle rearing and livestock production, all efforts at improving farmers and pastoralists would be a waste. A cattle rearing, also called livestock farming in Mambilla Plateau, is all about mass breeding of cattle such as cows, oxen, bulls, bullocks, and calves, among others. The science and art of rearing livestock is to obtain beef and fats for proteins and for the purpose of making profit. It is undoubtedly profitable and thriving business due to the value of meat, fats, skins, and other cattle byproducts.
