Abstract
The Dairy farming is means of subsistence for millions of dairy farmers in country and is supplementary occupation along with agriculture. Majority of dairy farmers who are engaged in dairying, who keep dairy animals, do not practicing modern dairy management practises and are unaware about recommendation pertaining to location specific and improved animal husbandry practices recommended by SAUs. Most of the dairy farmers do not adopt improved dairy practices to its fullest potential even if they possessed required knowledge. Government spent lot of money behind imparting training to ensure optimum adoption of location specific and recommended practices to tap highest production and productivity per unit with less expenditure. Still it seems to be distant away from achievement. Scientist of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Junagadh Agricultural University, Surendranagar are also making every efforts for increasing knowledge as well as adoption level of dairy farmers in their operational area of intensive working by imparting vocational training programmes, through implementing Front Line Demonstration (FLDs) and on Farm Testing (OFT), advisory services etc to dairy farmers and try their best to ensure no stone remain unturned for disseminating knowledge among dairy farmers. But still there is gap between desired level of adoption and actual adoption level of dairy farmers regarding SAU recommendations pertaining to location specific and improved animal husbandry practices. Looking into this, the present study was taken up among 225 beneficiary dairy farmers of operational area of KVK from Chotila, Sayala and Limbadi taluka of Surendranagar district of Saurashtra region of Gujarat with the specific objectives to study the adoption level of dairy farmers about SAUs recommendation pertaining to location specific and improved animal husbandry practices. Most of dairy farmers had high level of adoption of SAUs recommendation pertaining to animal breeding management practices. Adoption of animal health management practices was also near to high. In case of live stock management practices and animal nutrition, partial adoption level was found. Whereas low adoption level was found regarding fodder production management practices.
