| This study aimed at determining the level of farmer's knowledge of some technical recommendations of camels breeding in two villages of EI-SHarkia and Matrouh governorates, identifying of the farmer's attitudes regarding the camels breeding, identifying the problems facing those farmers, finding the suggested solutions of those problems and finally; determining the relationship between farmer's knowledge degrees of these recommendations as a dependent variable and some studied independent variables. 96 respondents were randomly selected from camel's breeders which have 3 camels or more, whereas the sample contains 46 farmers from Elrowysat village in Elhamam district and 50 farmers from Eltahawia village in Belbis district (representing approximately 25% form the population). Data were collected through February and March 2004 by personal interviews by using the pretested questionnaire. Furthermore; data were analyzed statistically by using the frequencies, means, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient and multiple regression (step wise). The main findings of this study were: 1- About 77% of the respondent farmers have positive and moderate attitudes towards the camel's breeding. 2- There was a significant positive relationship between farmer's knowledge degress as a dependent variable and the number of camels and the attitude towards camels breeding at 0.01 level. 3- There is a significant reiationship at 0.01 between farmer's knowledge as a dependent variable and farmer's education, the number of camels, average of daily production and the attitude degree towards camels breeding. And between the degree of experience at 0.05 in the Eltahawia village. 4- Two independent variables the degree of education and the number of camels were contributed positively on the explanation of the dependent variable's variance in the Elrowysat villagewhereas the degree of education was contributed positively on the explanation of the dependent variable's variance in the Eltahawia village. | ||||
