Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to find out the knowledge level and difference in knowledge level about scientific dairy farming practices amongst the livestock owners in adopted and non-adopted villages under the operational area of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in Rewa district of M.P. The study revealed that majority of the respondents in KVK adopted villages had medium knowledge about Artificial Insemination (AI), Vaccination, Deworming and Concentrate feeding and low level of knowledge about feeding of green fodder. In non-adopted villages most of the livestock owners had medium level of knowledge about artificial insemination, for all other practices there was low level of knowledge. It can be discerned from the study that the intervention of KVK has brought significant change in knowledge level of livestock owners implying more need of such trainings.
