Abstract:
Any economic development planning of rural regions needs an initial investigation of rural women''s role in the production system, hence the purpose of this descriptive- survey study was to investigate rural women''s role in animal husbandry activities. The statistical population consisted of all rural families (N=6571) in Charuymaq county which 135 were selected through a multistage randomised sampling method based on Cochran's sampling formula. The research tool was a researcher-constructed questionnaire which its validity was verified by a panel of experts in the related field and to check its reliability, a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was computed which were higher than 0.7 for composite constructs. The results showed that majority of women (60.7%) had a neutral attitude regarding animal husbandry activities. Hard nature of animal activities was the most bottleneck of women's participation. Preparing household''s food requirements (self-consumption) and responsibility taking duty toward household were the most intrinsic and extrinsic motives of women regarding their participation, respectively. The majority of women had a low level of mass media information usage and TV was the first source of their information channel gathering. Women had the most participation in Milking and processing and the last in grazing the animals.
