Abstract:

The dairy farming based on appropriate feeding, excellent management and well supervised health care practices. Hence this investigation was undertaken to find out the constraints faced by farmers in feeding and management of crossbred cattle. Constrains reported were inadequate availability of green fodder (82.50%), lack of credit facilities for purchasing good quality cattles., inadequacy of own grazing land (65.50%). and High cost of the fodder and concentrates. Non availability of labourers, high cost of treatment and medicines given by veterinarian, lack of extension education facilities for educating farmers on scientific management of animals. Also unavailability of equipments, medicines, vaccines and other resources at the village level, high temperature during water were important constraints encountered by different categories of farmers including landless labourers. The improvement in feeding and management can be done by providing technical knowledge about cattle management, timely financial support and veterinary aids. For recovering these constraint and motivating them for adoption of different management practices by explaining them its utility for better production for that extension education programme through both private and government agencies are required to be strengthened.
