Abstract

The present study was carried out in Dharwad district 2018-19. The multistage random sampling technique was followed for the study. For the study, 2 taluks of Dharwad district namely, Dharwad and Navalgund taluk were purposively selected to throw light on the study. These 2 taluks have more than 65-70 per cent of sheep and goat population and stall fed units in the study area. From each taluk, 8 villages and 3 stall fed units were selected for the study. The management practices in stall fed and grazing methods of sheep and goat rearing were analysed in tabular analysis. Most of the stall fed rearing farmers was found to be following modern and scientific management practices as compare to the grazing method of rearing farmers who still follow traditional management practices because of their unwillingness due to lack of financial support and lack of awareness.
