Abstract
Broiler farming in India is also one of the major profitable industries which can effectively tackle the problems of unemployment and under employment. The present study has identified and ranked the constraints in contract and non contract broiler farming in western and north western zones of Tamil Nadu. The data was collected from 40 contract and 40 non contract commercial broiler farms in Namakkal, Krishnagiri, Coimbatore and Tiruppur districts. The data was analysed by using Garrett’s ranking technique. The most significant constraints faced by contract broiler farmers were delay in supply of inputs and payments with a mean score of 59.10 and the most significant constraints faced by non contract broiler farmers were seasonal stagnation of birds and price fluctuation (52.28 mean score) and followed by low market price for birds due to middleman exploitation, high input cost, high mortality rate, lack of availability of finance and lack of marketing facilities.
