dc.description.abstractThe study was carried out to understand about the problems experienced by dairy farmers in field conditions. Fifty dairy farmers from Oruvandur Pudur Milk Cooperative Society in Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu, lndia, were selected based on simple random sampling technique. The data were collected through a well-structured, pre~tested inten/iew schedule which consisted of a list of problems occurring in calf rearing. The results revealed that an overwhelming majority (92 %) of the respondents reported that health problems, particularly calf mortality due to respiratory diseases, digestive disorders and parasitic ailments were ranked as the first and foremost problem in calf rearing. Lack of knowledge about scientific management practices (90%), poor adoption of scientific practices (88%), burden of rearing of male calves (86%), beliefs in traditional practices (80%), not providing adequate milk to calves due to economic compulsion (46%) and unable to pay much attention to calf rearing due to involvement in other works (32%) were the other problems experienced by dairy farmers in calf rearing. lt is concluded that the field level problems encountered in dairying could be solved through efiective use of extension educational methods viz, training programmes, demonstrations, print and electronic media.en_US
