Abstract
The present study was undertaken in rural Tamil Nadu to explore various constraints in livestock
rearing in rural Tamil Nadu using randomly selected 100 dairy farmers and 113 sheep and goat
farmers from six sample districts. The data pertaining to the objectives of the study were collected
through personal interview. Most of the poor livestock farmers expressed fodder shortage (with RBQ
more than 60), water scarcity (RBQ – around 60 for buffalo and sheep), labour problems (RBQ –
55.71 to 62.08) as their major constraints. However, priority of the constraints varied with respect to
the livestock species reared.
