Abstract :

Constraints in adoption of recommended dairy farming practices means the problems faced by the respondents in adopting recommended dairy farming practices. The study was carried out drawing a sample of 120 dairy farmers using random sampling from the six blocks of Karnal district of Haryana and from each block two villages were selected purposively. Ten respondents were randomly selected from each village which was having at least one milch cattle and buffalo. Garret ranking method was used for ranking of the constraints. The study explores the various constraints experienced by the farmers which were responsible for low adoption of recommended dairy farming practices. The most important constraint perceived by farmers was relevancy of training to the felt needs of farmers on improved dairy farming practices. The other serious constraints were Inadequate knowledge about the pedigree enquiry, complexity involved in silage making practices in relation with number of animal possessed by the farmers, lack of farmer?s interest in record keeping, ignorance of the farmers about the contagious disease to see the quarantine period, high cost involved in burying the dead animal, complication involved in getting the loan for purchasing animal, non availability of veterinary aid etc. The constraints identification will help the planners and administrators in identifying the problems so that the loopholes, if any can be plugged.
