ABSTRACT

A study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the knowledge and adoption of improved dairy management practices among women dairy farmers in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu. Following multistage sampling procedure, 300 women dairy farmers involved in dairying were selected. The data were collected through a well structured schedule by personally interviewing the selected women dairy farmers. The study revealed that majority of the women dairy farmers had knowledge about time of feeding first colostrum to new born calves, dry period allowed for lactating pregnant animals, right time of insemination and the extent of adoption is also high. The overall knowledge level of women dairy farmers were found to be moderate (48.33 per cent) followed by good (27.34 per cent) and poor (24.33 per cent).
