Abstract
Small ruminant production has the potential to address the global challenge of greatly increased food production in impoverished
rural areas in a manner that is socioeconomically sustainable and carbon efficient. Twenty-six small ruminant landless farmers in
three villages in the Kanchipuram District of the state of Tamil Nadu were surveyed with regard to their sheep farming practice
and production indices, with the preliminary aim of evaluating the potential of small ruminant farming in alleviating poverty in
parts of rural in southern India.
