Abstract
Animal husbandry in Dhi Qar Province is an important, effective and
complementary sector to food and a major contributor to the economies of
many developing countries, including its importance in the basic population
segment of meat and milk and a primary source of raw materials of wool and
leather for many other consumer industries .
The study focuses on analyzing the geographical factor in reducing and its
relationship to animal husbandry and its variation, dividing it into function
among all people, and identifying the most important animal breeds for each
type of livestock in the study area, in addition to developing solutions and
treatments for the forms that domestic animals face and which contribute to
their development in animal production. In Dhi Qar Governorate.
The study dealt with clarifying the geographical potential for raising livestock
animals in Dhi Qar Governorate in light of discussing ways and methods of
caring for animals in terms of food and housing represented by barns and
providing food through free grazing or purchasing fodder and revealing the
duration of the pastoral load capacity of fertile lands, as well as knowing the
extent to which veterinary services are kept up with the provision. Livestock
animals, how to market their products, and other important matters in the
subject of the study.
The study showed the geographical distribution of livestock animals in Dhi Qar
Governorate in terms of numbers, main and secondary species, and their life
requirements. The number of livestock animals in Dhi Qar Governorate reached
(1,251,621) heads in 2023, with sheep coming in first place with (748,761)
heads, forming a ratio of (59, 8% of the total number of livestock animals in the
study area, followed by cows in second place with (290,604) heads, equivalent
to (23.2%), while goats and buffalo came in third and fourth place with (87,104)
and (83,128) heads for each. Of them respectively, i.e. percentages amounting
to (7.0, 6.6%) respectively. Camels came in last place with (42,024) heads, i.e.
(3.4%) of the total livestock in the study area. The number of breeders reached
(20,596) breeders, distributed According to the agricultural divisions, the Souq
Al-Shuyoukh Agriculture Division topped the rank with (3880) breeders,
constituting a percentage of (18.8%) Of the total breeders in the governorate,
B
while Al-Bathaa and Al-Rifai agricultural divisions came in second and third
place with (1856) (1668) breeders and percentages of (9.0, 8.1%) for each of
them respectively, and so on respectively for the rest of the agricultural
divisions, reaching their lowest percentage. At Al-Manar Agriculture Division,
there were (193) breeders, representing (0.9%) of the total breeders in the
entire governorate .
The most important findings of the study are that there are two important
aspects in studying the subject, one of which is positive, related to the
abundance of important potentials in the study area that help in developing the
livestock sector in it, especially the flatness of the governorate’s surface and the
abundance of diverse lands and water resources, in addition to the presence of
human activities that interest Livestock breeding magazines for veterinary and
extension centers, cooperative and agricultural societies, and other basic
capabilities. As for the negative side, it includes the problems that hinder the
capabilities of animal husbandry, such as the lack of natural pastures and the
lack of investment in agricultural land for growing fodder and other fodder
crops. The study has developed some solutions and treatments that will
improve In the fodder reality in the study area , It also dealt with life-related
diseases and their health effects, finally concluding in developing solutions and
treatments that would contribute to the development and development of
livestock breeding projects in a way that ensures a sustainable agricultural
breeding process in Dhi Qar Governorate.
