Totally, 800 purposive famers were selected to be interviewed with a questionnaire. The statistics used in the data analysis were percentage, frequency, minimum, maximum and standard deviation. The findings revealed that most farmers had less than 10 years of experience in raising indigenous chicken (50.32%) and graduated from primary school (67.56%). Most of farmers relied on agricultural activities (65.01%), in which raising native chicken for selling accounted for 39.21%. In the study area, Thai-Burma crossbred was the most popular breed (70.24%). Farmers preferred to raise their indigenous chicken in integrated farms (50.72%). Paddy rice (42.55%) was mainly used as a feed and 72.2% of farmers used herbal with their chicken. Moreover, the study showed that farmerís tradition also strongly associated with indigenous chicken and can be divided into 6 sections, as follows: (1) breed and breeding, (2) feeds and feeding, (3) health and disease prevention, (4) management, (5) fighting cock, and (6) beliefs and rituals of spirits.

They were Materials and Methods used in amusements and as offerings in various rituals and beliefs. They also play a major role as consumers in Population and Sample the rural area ecosystem by converting agro-industry Phitsanulok is a province located in the North of and agricultural by-products into valuable products as Thailand where producing about millions of indigenous meat or egg. Most farmers commonly rear indigenous chickens with nearly 50,000 small scale households. chicken under free-range system. However, in term of In this province, Bang Krathum district has 2,466 sport (fighting cock), indigenous chickens were raised in households and produces about 94,204 indigenous semi-intensive and intensive production system. For chickens; Nakhon Thai district has 4,613 households most smallholders, a low input/output system was used and produces about 159,692 indigenous chickens; according to their geography, while a few farmers raise Mueang district has 5,105 households and produces chickens semi-intensively to increase their incomes. about 202,727 indigenous chickens; and Chat Trakan Indigenous chickens are still at the bottom of the list district has 2,946 households and produces about of farmersí economic priorities (Choprakarn and 75,784 indigenous chickens (Department of livestock Wongpichet, 2009). However, the relationship between development, 2016). A total of 800 indigenous chicken traditional knowledge and local wisdoms of the farmers farmers in Bang Krathum, Nakhon Thai, Mueang, and have been related and practiced with raising native Chat Trakan districts (200 households for each) were chicken, and the differences of living in each area could selected for the survey. affect the purposes of farmers in chicken raising methods (Sirindhorn and Fumihito, 2009; Yaemkong et al., Research Instrument and data collection 2017). Phitsanulok province, where located in the lower The survey was conducted to explore traditional Northern Thailand, has various geographical areas, which knowledge and local wisdom of indigenous chicken of ranges from lowlands to highlands. The rearing of Thai farmers with a questionnaire containing three types of indigenous chickens is widely distributed in any rural questions: 1) multiple choices, 2) fill in the blank and 3) communities. Consequently, there are diversity of birds' choose all that apply. The questionnaire was pre-tested phenotype, genetic, production system, rearing randomly in thirty farms in the study area. After that, management and several utilizations. Thus, the objective it was adjusted to improve its clarity. Farmers were of this study was to understand the diversity of traditional interviewed individually. The answers in each of the 42 Journal of Applied Animal Science Vol.10 No.3 September-December 2017 questionnaire were transformed to a numeric format In general, the results of farmer's education, and then recorded for statistical analysis. careers, experience and purposes for raising chicken in this study were similar to those reported in several Statistical analysis literatures (Rattanapradit et al., 2016; Laenoi et al., Data on traditional knowledge and local wisdom 2016; Yaemkong et al., 2016). These indicated that Thai of indigenous chicken farmer were collected and analyzed farmers consider agriculture as traditional activity and in order to describe qualitative parameters including, career that they continue following their parent to live in percentage, frequency, minimum, maximum and standard the rural villages and to work on the field. However, most deviation by using Excel spreadsheet in this study. young people from these areas tend to seek a job in towns or cities. Some of them might come back to work during Results and Discussions crop growing and harvesting times. Most of them visited This research was attempted to describe current home during important festivals, such as the traditional diversity of traditional knowledge and local wisdom of Thai New Yearís Day in April (Choprakarn and small scale indigenous chicken farmers in 4 districts Wongpichet, 2009). Fighting cock is still a popular (Bang Krathum, Nakhon Thai, Mueang, and Chat Trakan pastime for many Thai men. This is an important cultural districts) of Phitsanulok province, Thailand. The results heritage from the Ayutthaya Era when King Naresuan's of traditional knowledge and local wisdom showed that cock won a fight against the Burmese King's cock 76.47% of famers were male. The level of education was (Choprakarn and Wongpichet, 2009). Normally, fighting mainly primary school (67.56%), followed by high school cock are more expensive than Thai indigenous chicken. (22.90%), bachelor degree or higher degree (5.34%), Moreover, Klinhom et al. (2005) also reported that the and no education (4.20%) in four districts. Farmers who rearing of native chicken was not only for food but also raise indigenous chickens were agriculturist (65.01%), for source of cash. freelance (18.65%), own business (10.48%), government Thai-Burma crossbred chickens were raised most officer (4.44%), and state enterprise officer (1.42%), popularly, which accounted for 70.24%, followed by the respectively. And most of them had experience for other crossbreds (15.98%) and White-Tail Lai chickens raising indigenous chicken less than 10 years (50.32%), (13.78%).

  • Density Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-Pressure
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 7 (5): 698-701, 2010 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2010Science Publications Density Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-Pressure Patomsok Wilaipon Department Mechanical Engineering, Faculty Engineering, Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, Thailand 65000 Abstract: Problem statement: Agricultural residues seem to be the most promising energy resources for developing countries. However, the majority of them have low energy density. One of the favorable technologies for enhancing that property is briquetting. For the case of Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, cassava is one of the most important crops. Therefore, a large amount of cassava stalk is left in the field after harvest. This study was aimed to investigate the quantity of cassava stalk in this province and to study cassava stalk briquette production. Approach: The potential energy from cassava stalk was calculated based on the productivity, residue-to-product ratio, residue returned to soil ratio and its heating value. Besides, the effects of moderate-range compression pressure, 70-110 bar, and the binder ratio, 10-20%, on briquette density were investigated. An empirical model was also developed and validated. Results: Base on the estimation, the quantity of usable cassava stalk in this area was approximately 18 kton year−1. The heating value of cassava stalk was found to be 16.39 MJ kg−1. Therefore, the total energy over 289 TJ year−1 can be obtained from this agricultural waste. According to the experiment, briquette density was in the range of 0.40-0.77 g cm−3. The coefficient of multiple determination for prediction of the proposed model was about 94.7%.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt disease (FWD) is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) and results in severe devastation of global commercial banana production. Foc-resistant banana genotypes show promise for sustainable effective control of FWD. ScaU1001 and ScaS0901 markers and their putative banana cultivars were evaluated for FWD resistance under greenhouse conditions after artificial infection by Foc race 1 (Foc1). The Foc1 genotype was characterized from six Fusarium fungi isolated from the pseudostem of banana cv. ‘Kluai Namwa’ (ABB genome) using specific primer (Foc1), resulting in two Foc isolates (PL3 and PL6) with an expected 354 bp PCR product. Both ScaU1001 and ScaS0901 markers were amplified as a unique PCR product (1694 bp and 1429 bp, respectively) in two banana cultivars ‘Kluai Khai Kasetsart 2’ (AA genome) and ‘Kluai Hom Khiew’ (AAA genome), indicating that both cultivars probably carried a Foc-resistant DNA fragment.

  • Density Equation of Bio-Coal Briquettes and Quantity of Maize Cob in Phitsanulok, Thailand
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 5 (12): 1808-1811, 2008 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2008 Science Publications Density Equation of Bio-Coal Briquettes and Quantity of Maize Cob in Phitsanulok, Thailand Patomsok Wilaipon Department of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Faculty, Biomass Energy Research Unit, Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, Thailand 65000 Abstract: One of the most important crops in Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, is maize. Base on the calculation, the quantity of maize cob produced in this region was approximately 220 kton year−1. The net heating value of maize cob was found to be 14.2 MJ kg−1. Therefore, the total energy over 874 TJ year−1 can be obtained from this agricultural waste. In the experiments, maize cob was utilized as the major ingredient for producing biomass-coal briquettes. The maize cob was treated with sodium hydroxide solution before mixing with coal fine. The ratios of coal:maize were 1:2 and 1:3, respectively. The range of briquetting pressures was from 4-8 MPa. The result showed that the density was strongly affected by both parameters. Finally, the relationship between biomass ratio, briquetting pressures and briquette density was developed and validated by using regression technique. Key words: Biomass binder, maize cob binder, coal briquette, biomass-coal briquette INTRODUCTION handling characteristics are improved. Therefore, it is crucial that this fine material should be economically Biomass, particularly agricultural residues, seems compacted into the regular shape and size. Several to be one of the most promising energy resources for researches about coal-briquette production have been developing countries. The idea of utilizing the residues carried out.
