“…From the table 1, it is evident that breeding and reproduction services was predominantly provided by DAH&VS as perceived by large majority of the dairy farmers who had availed 'Artificial Insemination (A.I)'(87.25%) and 'Pregnancy Diagnosis (P.D) services' (90%) for their milch animals. Similar observation was seen in the findings of Mahalakshmi & Devi (2016) and Karthikeyan et al (2018) in availing breeding services. In the case of 'preventive services', majority of the dairy farmers availed 'vaccination services' (86%), 'deworming services' (89%) and 76 percent of the respondents opined that the department conducted 'periodic disease surveillance'.…”

Dairy extension services delivery system providing access to services and critical inputs plays a cardinal role in adoption of technologies by the farmers for improved livestock productivity. In a pluralistic environment, multiple dairy extension service providers extend various services and inputs to the dairy farmers. In this context, the present study was undertaken to assess the role performance of various dairy extension service providers and their effectiveness in Karnataka State. A total of 400 dairy farmers who were availing the services from different extension service providers were selected as respondents for the study using multi-stage random sampling method. The Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services (DAH&VS) of the State played a predominant role in providing 'breeding services' (87.25% A.I & 90 P.D), 'preventive services' (vaccination 86%, deworming 89%, and 76% disease surveillance) and 'curative services' (82%). Whereas, the Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS) played a vital role in extending assured 'marketing services' (94%), 'input services' (fodder seeds 86.50% and feed supplements 89.25%), 'implementation of dairy development schemes' (86%) and provision of 'extension advisory and training services' (84.50%). The effectiveness of service providers as perceived by the dairy farmers as per the weighted mean score indicates that DAH&VS was found more effective in extending 'health care services' (278.67) and 'breeding and reproduction services' (274.26), whereas, DCS were more effective in extending assured 'marketing services' (289.73), providing 'input support services' (278.33), 'implementation dairy development schemes' (274.53) and provision of 'extension advisory and training services ' (264.35). The present study concludes that most of the dairy extension service providers played a significant role in extending different dairy extension services and inputs to the farmers. However, concerted efforts need to be made by all the stakeholders for possible convergence among them in reaching out the dairy farmers and providing emphasis on 'dairy extension education services' in addition to 'providing inputs and support services' to the dairy farmers.

Dairy farming plays an important role in improving the economy of farmer in the country. A survey study was conducted to sea the socioeconomic status of farmer, animal status and dairying practices in the periurbon and rural area of Katni district of Madhya Pradesh. Five blocks of Katni district were selected purposively for the survey study. Five villages from each block which possess sufficient cattle and buffalo population had been considered for the study. A total of 500 cattle and buffaloes rearers were selected from the district (20 Farmers from each village). A questionnaire was prepared and data were collected from individual cattle and buffalo owner through personal interview regarding the farmers age, education, land holding, fodder cultivation, herd size and milking practices of buffalo. Survey data revealed that the maximum surveyed respondents were below the age of 50 years and majority of them were either illiterate (23%) or educated up to junior school level. The most of the buffalo rears holding 1-2 hectare of land (35%) fallowed by medium (23%) and marginal (20.6%) farmers holding 2-4 ha and less then 1 ha land respectively. The large farmers holding above 4 ha land was less (13.6%) while landless were only 7.2%. Most of the respondents were not practicing the cultivation of green fodder and animal feeding mostly depends on wheat straw and paddy straw. Respondents occasionally provide common salt and rarely mineral mixture to their animals. Most of the farmers were having up to 10 animals in their houses. Majority of the buffaloes with respondent were medium yielders (49.2%) fallowed by poor (31.2%) and high yielders (19.6%). On the basis of our findings, it can be concluded that less educated, dominant population of low yielding animals, poor feeding and management practices are the main constraint of buffalo raising in the district.

“…Upon interview, the partiicpants mentioned that there is no available AI service in their municipality and their Local Government Unit, does not promote AI. Farmers preferred the public departments through veterinary dispensary and sub-center artificial insemination service because it is cheap, quality and timely delivery of service coupled with better conception rate (Karthikeyan et al, 2018). The feelings of the farmers were generally neutral despite the favorable assessment of their opinions and behavioral intentions toward biotechnology use.…”

This study investigated the perceptions of Meranao farmers in Lanao del Sur province about reproductive biotechnology, specifically AI. A cross-sectional descriptive survey employing a mixed-method design of a qualitative-quantitative methodological triangulation was employed in the study involving 203 participants (farmers). The selection of the participants was based on purposive sampling and snowball techniques. Furthermore, the principle of saturation was also applied in the collection of data. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive, correlational statistics, and variance through SPSS version 16. Findings revealed that Artificial Insemination (AI) is not usually known and practice by the livestock raisers in Lanao del Sur. Most of the farmers has no knowledge about AI and it is not promoted in their municipality. Farmers adoptions of AI is influence by different factors such as their lack of knowledge resulted to some misconceptions about. However, findings also showed that they are willing to adopt AI as long as they are well educated about it. The farmers profile such as age, gender, educational attainment, livestock raise and years of experience in raising livestock significantly influence to their perceptions on AI. It is also shown that there was a significant difference on the perceptions of the farmers towards their awareness and acceptability of AI, and their perceptions about the status and prospect of AI in the province. Based on the findings, it shows that the farmers have no knowledge about AI but they are willing to be trained and adopt the technology as long as they will know about it. Farmers perceptions towards AI in terms of awareness, acceptability, status and prospects are directly influenced by their profile such as age, education, livestock raise, number of livestock and the years of experience in rearing livestock. This implies that, if they will be exposed to trainings and seminars about AI they can learn the technology and be willing to adopt. As such, this study designed a training program to educate the farmers about AI.
