ABSTRACT

Small Ruminants play a significant role in the survival of the economically weaker section of our society. The present study was planned and carried out among 280 respondents in 08 nos. of GP from 04 nos. of selected blocks in South 24 Parganas and Purulia district to study the knowledge level distribution of small ruminant livestock owners in various small ruminant livestock farming practice in West Bengal. The study highlighted the knowledge level distribution of Small Ruminant Livestock Owners (SRLO) in considering reproduction, feeding, deworming & vaccination practices which play a significant role in sustainable and profitable farming practices for the weaker section of rural India. The study revealed that the knowledge level of SRLO about various improved reproductive, feeding, deworming and vaccination practices was more or less similar and in some parameters more or less in the selected study district, which was very much indicative of proper dissemination and demonstration for improved small ruminant livestock farming practices and better socio-economic development of these stakeholders in the functional area of the state of W.B., India.
