dc.description.abstractThe present study was undertaken to assess the perceived effectiveness of health services offered by different dairy service providers in Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu during the period 2012-13 with respect to their regularity, timeliness, quality and cost. A total of 120 respondents who were availing the health services from different dairy service delivery systems were selected using proportionate random sampling and data were collected and analyzed. Most of the respondents predominantly availed the curative (99.17%) and preventive (95.00%) services from the private veterinarians; and medicines from the pharmacies (98.33%) than other dairy service providers. It was perceived by the dairy farmers that the curative services, preventive services and supply of medicines by private veterinarians were effective in terms of regularity and quality. Dairy farmers perceived that animal husbandry department provided cost effective curative services, preventive services and medicines because most of the services were provided at free of cost. Further, they perceived that the timely curative and preventive services were provided by animal husbandry department, whereas pharmacies delivered medicines in time as they operate within the vicinity of the dairy farmers. Overall, the health services offered by the animal husbandry department were perceived to be most effective than other dairy service providers. Hence, dairy co-operatives and private integrators need to make enormous efforts to improve the health service delivery to reach the farmers.en_US
