The Usage, Application and Cost Effectiveness of Rabbit Urine in Vegetable Farming in Wakiso District in Central Uganda.

Abstract

The coherent study evaluated the connection between Usage, Application and Cost Effectiveness of Rabbit Urine in Vegetable Farming inWakiso District in Central Uganda. A Completely Randomised Design was used while setting up the experiment. The experiment was carried out twice on a sample size of 83 Farmers. The first experiment (Experimental type) was carried out on four plots of 1x1m and an isolation distance of 1m. While the second experiment (Control type) was carried out on, six plots measuring 1x1m with isolation distance of 1m as well. A single type of crop (Collards) was planted on the plots at a spacing of 45cm apart. The experiments were conducted between the months of November, 2024 and February, 2025, one relatively wet and dry month. A sample of two plants was selected using a simple random sampling technique.The study findings established a significant relationship between Usage and Cost Effectiveness of Rabbit Urine in Vegetable Farming in Wakiso District in Central Uganda.. The study concluded that Obtaining and using rabbit urine was found very cost effective that it was the smallest number of farmers who were not using it and who did not keep rabbits,If there is proper management of Rabbit Urine, they can be an impetus to socio-economic development of the country at large because it would boost Agricultural Production. From the study findings, the researchers recommended that Agricultural agencies should conduct periodical trainings on Rabbit Urine Foliar preparation and application in gardens to avoid its potential contamination of the foods eaten by Humans. This is because Health is Key to Development in any country in the world. Local Governments should always engage Farmers in production of foliar/rabbit urine as manure for sale and usage to increase crop production and rabbit meat production for economic and ecological benefits.
