MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOLLOWED IN BACKYARD POULTRY FARMING - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Management Practices Followed in Backyard Poultry Farming presents a field-based study of 120 backyard poultry farmers in Dharwad and Belagavi districts of North Karnataka. The study examines farmers' knowledge and adoption of poultry management practices, training needs, constraints and opportunities. The findings revealed medium knowledge but comparatively low adoption of recommended practices. Major constraints included inadequate knowledge of vaccination schedules, chick mortality, disease incidence, reduced summer egg production, predator attacks and limited availability of improved chicks. Farmers suggested timely vaccination, scientific management training, better veterinary services, improved chick availability, better prices and affordable credit. The book highlights the potential of backyard poultry farming to improve rural livelihoods, household income, employment, food and nutritional security, and overall socio-economic well-being.
