| dc.description.abstract | Livestock, which accounts for 30% of employment among Nigeria's rural population, is essential to the country's local economy and efforts to reduce poverty. The growth of the livestock sub sector is hindered, nevertheless, by a range of concerns, such as political, economic, and financial uncertainty, as well as insufficient government budget allocation. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to examine how formal funding and national hazards affect Nigeria's livestock production. Secondary data for the years 1995–2021 were gathered from the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Using E-view 9, the study used both descriptive and inferential statistics. Before and after the given model was estimated using Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL), a variety of diagnostic tests were performed. The agricultural guarantee credit scheme funds (AGC) are statistically significant at the 5% level of significance, according to the short term ARDL model. Other variables, such as commercial bank credits (CBC), budgetary allocation to agriculture (BAA), and exchange rate control variable (EXR), are not statistically significant in the short run. The control variable of prime lending rate (PLR, 0.0653) is statistically significant at 5% level of significance. Among other things, the study suggests that banks create customized credit solutions that address the particular requirements of cattle farmers, offer flexible periods for repayment, and form alliances with input suppliers and agriculture specialists. | |
