Abstract

Dairy farming is one of the important components of irrigated ecosystem and plays a major role towards sustaining agricultural livelihoods. In the present study, a detailed survey was conducted regarding the livestock potentials of the farmers in irrigated ecosystem in relation to the socio-economic status. Maintenance of dairy and related economics was evaluated for each socio-economic class as well as the constraints perceived by each group of farmers. While in case of large and medium farmers, absence of proper and organized marketing facility is one of the major constraint, lack of infrastructural facilities like breeding, health care etc. are major setbacks for small and marginal farmers. However, dairy forms an important livelihood component for the farmers especially for small and marginal classes in the irrigated ecosystem.

 

Keywords: Farmers class, economics, constraints of dairy farming
