dc.description.abstractThe present study was taken-up to analyse the socio-economic profile of farmers and constraints in duck farming in Northern districts of Tamil Nadu. Primary data were collected from 50 duck farmers selected through cluster sampling using pre-tested interview schedule and analysed through appropriate statistical techniques. Majority of duck farmers aged more than 45 years, male, belonged to Hindu religion in Most Backward Community (MBC) and had only primary level of education with high experience in duck farming. Majority of the farmers reared meat type duck traditionally with flock size of more than 2000 ducks. Mostly men were involved in duck farming activities viz., farming, feeding, watering, cleaning, health care and marketing and major decisions in duck farming were made by both men and women. Majority of duck farmers approached progressive farmers and friends/relatives for information on both duck and non-duck farming activities. Chick mortality, non-availability of credit facilities, occurrence of diseases, lack of technical guidance and lack of veterinary services were the foremost constraints perceived by the farmers. Considering various socio-economic variables, only gender of the farmers and flock size were found to be significantly correlated with constraints like chick mortality and lack of organized marketing. Flock size was found to be significantly correlated with non-availability of credit.en_US
