Abstract :
[en] A survey was carried out in 4 ecological zones (Northeastern, Northwest, the Red river
delta and North central coast) of Vietnam to examine influence of ecological zone, education
level, extension activity, household economy and herd size on utilization of rice straw and
maize stover as feeds for buffaloes and cattle. A total of 720 households, of which 497 raised
buffaloes and cattle, were interviewed. Results showed that the proportion of household
using rice straw and maize stover as feed was significantly different among ecological zones
and education levels. All of the studied factors, except the economic level, significantly influenced the utilization of rice straw and maize stover as feeds for buffaloes and cattle.
