    A participatory action research was designed to promote the goat rearers’ groups in study villages and to strengthen the livelihood security through strategic supplementation of mineral mixture and UMMB. The analysis of the social situation revealed that all the villages were lacking basic facilities, infrastructure and services. The dissatisfaction of the villagers about existing conditions and problems was given expression with the formation of goat rearers groups in each study villages. The importance was given to collective work and necessity of the groups was stressed. The members have gained social benefits like managerial skills, increased interpersonal contacts, improved relation and better understanding among themselves, problem solving through group discussion and group consensus, opportunity to develop leadership etc in addition to this villagers got the benefits of regular health camps and training programmes. The results of On-farm trial revealed that the gain in body weights and decreased mortality are significant after the supplementation with mineral mixture and UMMB. However, the twinning percentage showed non significant result. The assessment of farmers perception revealed that due to strategic supplementation the mortality in kids was decreased and the health status was improved, animals stopped eating abnormal things. The major constraint of this supplementation was non availability of the mineral mixture and UMMB in nearby places. Farmers reported that supplementation technology was economically feasible and farmers were ready to it in future.

    PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH AMONG GOAT REARERS FOR PROMOTION OF SUPPLEMENTARY FEEDING
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) PRAVEENA
    Goat production from centuries has been an integral component of farming system and a primary source of livelihood for the poor villagers. Poor people on zero input mostly rear goats in India. Majority of the worldâ s goat population is found in the small holder farming system where nutritional conditions are often sub-optimal (Sibanda et ah, 1999). The farmers maintain their flock on community grazing land by employing family labour and negligible marketed input/purchased input and marginal output (Chauhan and Moorti 1999).
