Abstract
A study was carried out in Tiruvannamalai district of Tamil Nadu to assess the
production and marketing constraints perceived by women SHG members and non-members
who reared livestock. A detailed questionnaire in relation to various aspects of production
and marketing constraints involved in livestock rearing were enlisted and the women
livestock farmers from SHG members and non members in the study area were asked to rank
the each constraint which was analyzed using Garret's ranking technique. Access to credit
facility was perceived to be the prime constraint in non- members whereas it was perceived
to be a least constraint among the members of SHGs. Lack of marketing information and
type of procurement agencies were perceived as the major marketing constraints among
members, whereas non members felt type of procurement agencies and low price of livestock
products as serious constraints.
