Received: 18-11-2021 / Accepted: 01-03-2022
Egg production is an important economic trait in poultry production in general and egg-laying hens in particular. Prediction of eggs performance at early stage could improve livestock efficiency by setting up a early production plan. This study was conducted to describe the egg production rate and determine the best models to estimate egg production at the peak of egg-laying of D310 chickens raised at experimental farm, Faculty of Animal Science of Vietnam National University of Agriculture from December 2020 to May 2021. Five functional nonlinear models (Logistic, Compartmental I, McNally, Compartmental II and Yang) were used to estimate egg production rate at the peak of egg-laying from 19 to 49 weeks of age. Egg production rate was collected from 360 hens from 19 weeks of age (fisrt egglaying week) to 49 weeks of age (26 weeks of egglaying period). The egg production rate at the peak of egg-laying (a) estimated by Logistic model was 0.839. The mean egg production week at egg production peak estimated by Logistic model was 5.265 eggs. The Logistic function appeared most appropriate to describe egg production rate of D310 chickens with the highest coefficient of determination (99.58 %) and the lowest values of AIC (-1862,53) and BIC (-1843,82).

Analysing collective action in pig production of Tan Yen collective group showsthat the collective action is characterized by the following: (i) Farmers are volunteer to participate in the collective groupand(ii) Activities of the collective group include coordination in feed purchasing, breed purchasing, veterinary services, access to credit and selling of product. The members of the collective group obtain higher economic return from pig production than non- members. Furthermore, members of the collective group have a better access to market information and technical knowledge than non- members. However, collective action is still weak. Members of the collective group donotparticipate in all collective activities. In addition, the pork label of the collective group lacks standards for traceability. The group leaders are limited in management capacity. The production scale, education level and gender of household head are factors affecting the participation of farmers in the collective group. To promote collective action and to increase farmer’s income, members of the collective group should participate in all collective activities, make plans for pig production scaleamong members, apply VietGap standardsin production,and properly utilize both local cropsas feed and industrial feed. The local authority should support to strengthen thecollective action in order to reduce small scale pig production.

In order to complete the procedure for F1 seed production with the yield more than 3 tons per hectare in summer season, various experiments for hybrid seed production were carried out in the field of Vietnam National University of Agriculture. The results showed that the growth duration of T1S-96BB was 78-80 days, 5-7 days earlier than the male line R7. Thus, the sowing time of T1S-96BB should be done around 20th June so that the heading time occurs after 5th September. The male parent R7 should be sown 5-7 days earlier than female T1S-96BB and the second male parent R7 sowing together with female to ensure perfect flowering synchronization. The proportion of the female line is 72-75% of the total seed production area while the rest is occupied by the male line and pathway. The spacing of the female line is 15cm x 13-15cm The 2R:16S ratio gave highest yield of F1 seed production. The quantity of GA3 application for F1 seed production is 130-160 gram+ 600 liters of water per hectare in two sprays: the first spray with 400 liters on total area and the second spray with 200 liter for R line only. The results of this study is considered as basis to establish the procedures for F1 seed production of TH3-7 combination with high hybrid seed yield and quality.

Received: 18-06-2014 / Accepted: 01-09-2014
In recent year, maize is gradually becoming a kind of agricultural commodities which aims to reduce poverty for farmers in the Northwest region, especially in the two provinces of Son La and Hoa Binh. The survey results show that income from maize production constitutes a high proportion of the income structure of farm households in this area. However, maize acreage and yield annual area are declining. The farmers in the Northwest now faces major problems such as the shortage of capital for production, the rapid rising input cost, especially maize seeds and fertilizers. In addition, transport systems, storage systems, and the consumption of maize are still low, which are also the major challenges to the developm ent of maize production in this area. Therefore, to develop commodity maize production in the Northwest region, the solutions offered are going to focus on those aspects: the methods to control soil erosion and exhaustion, transportation system development, maize consumption system diversification, technical support and the encouragement of maize storage system construction for farmers, maize varieties research to select the adapted seeds to the ecological conditions, utilizing the organic inputs instead of inorganic fertilizer and finally the preferential policies that Government should have to encourage maize production.

In this article, secondary data as well as primary data collected from households and businesses were used to evaluate real status and effectiveness of cooperation models between farmers and business enterprises in production and trading of coffee in the Central Highlands. Based on the analysis, we proposed measures to enhance sustainable linkages between the two actors in production and trading of coffee in the investigated region. The research findings indicated that these linkages help improve economic efficiency in households’ coffee production thanks to increased productivity, higher price, and manufacturing cost savings and improve the competitiveness of businesses (thanks to the stability of raw materials, and a source high quality coffee for exportation). However, there are many limitations and challenges to maintain or develop these current linkages, particularly in the production process, product sales, or access to supportive policies. Thus, in order to promote sustainable linkages between farmers and businesses in the production and trading of coffee, it is suggested to enhance the capabilities of farmers, encourage support for farmers from businesses, improve market development activities in business, and suitable subsidies from the Goverment.
