This research aims to study participatory learning process to strengthen rural communities through Leaung Rice 11 production which promotes self-reliability and capability of the communities. This is a participatory action research (PAR) with farm experimental methods. It demonstrates a model to empower community which allows members to identify problems discuss find commitment and approve incoming development. Researchers here are therefore facilitators helping people in the community to achieve effective production of Yellow Rice 11. After providing sufficient information about Leaung Rice 11 production the main problems identified is a high production cost with chemical fertilizer being abundantly used causing health and environment problems to the community. This results in a solution of choosing organic Yellow Rice 11 production that is harmless and friendly to the environment. Despite co-operative learning and problems identification locals also get an opportunity to plant Leaung Rice 11 with organic fertilizer and Effective Microorganisms (EM) as a model to safe cost. It is obvious that rice production is also increased (737.69 Kilogram per Rai). Moreover production cost decreases to 1227.50 Baht per Rai per family. This research provides the community ability to analyze self-problems and potentiality under modern research methodology; problems identification solution identification experiment process co-operative learning data collection data discrimination data analysis and data application.

This research aimed to develop a flock of Thai indigenous chicken namely Chee with pure white feather in order to meet the requirement of domestic consumption and export of meat chickens. The genetics on growth must be improve with egg production was no affected. The selections were continuously done for 5 generations. Each generation 30 sires and 50 of 16 week old females were obtained. At suitable age 6 weeks after first egg laid the artificial inseminations were arranged twice weekly with 1: 5 of the male and female proportion. Eggs were collected to hatchery in the 3 consecutive weeks followed with the 2 week skips. Before the next AI of reciprocal cross the 3 groups were bred and 3 generations each. The newborn chickens from hatchery of each generation were weighed and the other measurements were done at the 4 weeks intervals. The data of weights at 16 week old chickens and breast widths were used to calculate for breeding value. The BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) was a selection tool to select high selection index for replacement herd of each generation. For the females the 300 day egg productions were added. It was found that from the 1st to the 5th generation the average of 16 week old chickens were 1225.99 1265.86 1461.94 1326.16 and 1439.36 gram respectively. The average body weight gain was 213.37 gram and the average daily gain was 12.85 gram. The 16 week breast widths were 5.46 5.90 5.54 5.56 and 5.65 centimeter respectively. The ages of first egg laid were 211.30 178.66 175.83 171.91 and 171.10 day respectively. In the 5th generation egg production started about 40 days earlier than the 1st generation. The first egg weights were 1390 1426 1467.61 1446.33 and 1529 gram respectively. Egg productions at the 300 day old were 36.38 38.28 40.29 42.42 and 45.58 eggs and it could provide 9 eggs more than 1st generation.
