Abstract

The research aims to determine the economic return of recycling agricultural wastes for production of unconventional fodders for animal production in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate., the research relies on some descriptive and quantitative economic analysis methods to analyze the primary data. The results showed that it is possible to rank agricultural wastes in terms of the return on the invested pound resulting from recycling one ton of waste, with summer rice straw ranking first at approximately 1.06 Egyptian Pound, followed by sugar beet straw, wheat straw, dry stalks of summer maize, and dry stalks of cotton at approximately 0.82, 0.7, 0.69, and 0.68 EGP, respectively. The methods and approaches of farmers towards crops dealing with wastes were represented in; producing unconventional fodder, making silage for animals, using waste for animals feeding, direct selling, using it as organic fertilizer, and storage it on rooftops, burning it, and using it as fuel for ovens. The top problem facing farmers who recycle agricultural wastes was the lack of experience among farmers in how to recycle agricultural wastes, which represents about 90.4%, and the top proposed solution was to suggest holding training courses for farmers on how and the importance of recycling agricultural wastes, which represents about 89.6%. The research recommended the following: Cooperation and coordination between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Environment to implement and apply modern agricultural technologies in processing and recycling agricultural wastes and benefiting from it in production of unconventional feed.
