FARMER AWARENESS, INSEMINATORS CHALLENGES AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Abstract
This study assessed the awareness of cattle farmers, along with the challenges and
support systems encountered by artificial inseminators under the UNAIP in Negros
Oriental. A descriptive-correlational design was employed, utilizing simple random
sampling for 298 farmer respondents and a census approach for 52 artificial
inseminators. Expert-validated survey questionnaires served as data-gathering
instruments, with data analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Spearman's rank-
order correlation. Results revealed that farmers exhibited a very high level of awareness
regarding the benefits and procedures of artificial insemination, significantly influenced
by factors such as years of farming experience, education level, and cultural perception.
Inseminators perceived institutional support as generally adequate, while logistical
constraints, such as lubricant availability and access to liquid nitrogen plants, remained
slightly adequate. A key insight is that positive cultural perceptions enhance both benefit
and procedural awareness of AI, challenging traditional views that culture impedes
innovation. Moreover, the findings affirmed Systems Theory by revealing that support
is often reactive to challenges. The lack of correlation between support systems and AI
success rates highlighted the importance of addressing biological and farmer-driven
factors, thus supporting the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. This study offers new
perspectives on the socio-institutional dynamics of Al implementation and provides
valuable guidance for crafting more inclusive, responsive strategies in livestock
development programs.
