This study mainly aimed to investigate the effectiveness of technical and vocational training
courses in sheep fattening in counties of West Azerbaijan Province in Iran. The statistical population
of this retrogressive evaluation included ۹۹۸ livestock farmers who participated in these training
courses and received certificates. Thus, a sample of ۹۱ participants was selected using Cochran’s
formula, while ۹۱ untrained livestock farmers were also studied for comparison. After data collection
using the questionnaire (the main instrument), SPSS was used for data analysis. The results of
descriptive statistics demonstrate that the participants had ۳۸ years of age on average and ۵۱% (the
highest frequency) were engaged in integrated crop-livestock systems. Comparing the average
opinions of the trained ( =۲.۰۱) and untrained individuals ( ۱.۸۹) showed that the trained participants
had a more open view towards job creation and careen stability and development than the untrained
ones. Moreover, the T-test results indicated that the trained and untrained participants differed
significantly in in livestock weight gain during a fattening period differed significantly in, the resulting
income and quality of life improvement at the ۹۹% confidence interval. The Pearson correlation
coefficient results also revealed a significant correlation between reduced livestock losses and
participation in the training courses. The results of the Mann–Whitney U test also showed a significant
difference in adopting innovation between the trained and untrained participants at the ۹۵% confidence
interval.
