Improved Dairy Farming Practices in Jammu District of Jammu and Kashmir

摘要

India needs to increase milk production which is possible by narrowing down the gap between the existing technology and its adoption. Several livestock development programmes to help dairy farmers to adopt the animal husbandry practices are in operation throughout the country. Still there exists a wide gap between the technology available at the research and its adoption particularly in animal rearing. This has resulted in poor adoption of dairy practices by cattle owners. Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to study the extent of adoption of improved dairy farming practices by the dairy farmers.
