Abstract
This article examined the relationship between socioeconomic features on the utilization of ICT tools in small ruminant animal production in Gombe North senatorial district of Gombe state, Nigeria. 120 small ruminant animal producers were selected using multistage sampling methodologies. The findings revealed that the respondents’ sex, highest educational level, farm size, and the number of secondary occupations, were the socio-economic characteristics which exerted a strong, influence on the overall extent of ICT gadget usage. Respondents; sex was found to have a rho value of .862, the highest educational level.968, farm size .870 and the number of secondary occupations.930. The study suggests that farmers should seek further education, try to increase their farm size, introduce more other enterprises into their farms and engage in more other secondary occupations.
