Abstract
A study was undertaken in the purposively selected Viluppuram district of Tamil Nadu state to know the profile of the dairy farmers, to determine the extent of technological gap in the adoption of recommended dairy production practices among the dairy farmers, to ascertain the relationship between profile of the dairy farmers and their technological gap in the adoption of recommended dairy production practices and to recognize the constraints faced by the dairy farmers and to seek their suggestions to overcome the same in the adoption of recommended dairy production practices.
Out of the nine taluks in Viluppuram district, two taluks namely, Tindivanam and Viluppuram taluks were selected randomly. From each of the taluks selected, five villages were selected randomly, thus a total of 10 villages were selected for the study. From each of the ten villages selected, 10 dairy owning households were selected randomly leading to a total sample size of 100 dairy owning households. Any one adult member who was actively involved in dairy farming was selected as respondent for the study. The data were collected through a structured pre-tested interview schedule and were statistically analyzed and interpreted.
