    The present study was conducted to assess the availability of hatching eggs, hatchability of desi birds eggs, demand for day old chicks and to establish rural hatchery through LIG. Participatory action research design was adopted to conduct the study. The study was conducted in six villages of 2 taluks of Davanagere district. Out of 600 backyard poultry farmers, 180 were selected as respondents. The data collected was through participant observation, focused group discussion and personal interview. Further, on the basis of critical gaps, constraints and the interest of the community, 14 and 12 farmers were selected to form an LIG in Gurusiddapura and Ragimasalwada villages respectively. The LIG members were sensitized and trained to establish rural hatchery unit with the input support from Sujala project. Accordingly both the LIG members established rural hatchery unit and put into work to pull out 5 batches of chicks in a year. The performance of hatchery unit was encouraging with hatchability of 77-79 per cent. 2385 chicks of one week were sold to the needy farmer in and around the village; rest 465 chicks were reared upto 4 months and marketed. The LIG members gained a profit of Rs.45613 and Rs.46125 in Ragimasalwada and Gurusiddapura respectively. To conclude, community led rural hatchery units by livestock interest group were found to be successful enterprise to augment backyard poultry production with better hatchability. Further, backyard poultry production is viable, economical, generated supplementary income for the LIG members and sensitized the rural community to venture into backyard poultry farming.

    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.
