“…Further the dairy cooperatives also played a significant role in assisting DAH&VS in conducting vaccination (51%), deworming (58.50) and periodic disease surveillance (31.75%) programmes and dairy cooperatives also extended the services of 'animal treatment' (80%) and 'surgical procedures' (46.50%) as expressed by majority of respondents. Similar findings were reported by Singodia (2018) that significant percentage of farmers availed preventive (80.35%) and curative services (71.42%) from dairy cooperatives.…”

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.

“…Apart from the increase in antimicrobial usage, India faces challenges such as a shortage of workforce and adequate knowledge dissemination to farmers ( 15 ). In many developing countries, there is often a shortage of qualified veterinarians in veterinary services ( 16 , 17 ). Consequently, para-veterinarians have become crucial in delivering veterinary services, including the prescription of antibiotics for animals ( 18 , 19 ).…”

IntroductionAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant public health threat, and understanding the awareness and practices of healthcare professionals is crucial for its mitigation. Since the animal sector plays a key role in India’s economy, we decided to explore the understanding of Antimicrobial Use (AMU) and AMR among veterinary professionals.MethodsThe study aimed to evaluate the awareness and behavior of veterinarians and para-veterinarians working in the Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan, India, concerning AMU and AMR. Questionnaire surveys were administered to them with closed-ended questions. The data was collected and subjected to statistical analysis to derive meaningful insights. The key findings highlight notable differences in certain behavioral aspects of antibiotic prescription among the two groups.Results and DiscussionIt appears that 53.8% of veterinarians as compared to 25.8% para-veterinarians do not surely inform farmers about the importance of adhering to antibiotic withdrawal periods, thereby failing to raise awareness about proper antibiotic use. Moreover, para-veterinarians (46.6%) tend to engage less in evidence-based antibiotic prescription than veterinarians (81%). Furthermore, both groups exhibit a lower frequency of advice on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (ABST), essential for informed prescribing decisions. Most significantly, both groups show a tendency to prefer critically important antibiotics for prescription, raising concerns about the escalating threat of AMR. This study thus emphasizes the areas that need targeted interventions to enhance responsible antimicrobial usage and curb the growth of AMR in the region.
