Abstract
Dairy farming was a major livelihood source in Raipur district, Chhattisgarh, but traditional feeding methods dominated. This study surveyed 100 farmers to examine feeding practices, consumption patterns, and awareness of balanced nutrition. Findings showed reliance on green (80%) and dry fodder (72%), with cost (76%) and availability (68%) as key determinants. Only 20% were highly aware of scientific feeding. The study concluded that promoting balanced nutrition, improving feed access, and strengthening extension services were essential to enhance productivity and sustainable livelihoods.
