| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to know the adoption of various green fodder production practices, knowledge level, impact and constraints faced by farmers in green fodder production. The study also sensitized and mobilized dairy farmers for intensive cultivation of super napier fodder. An ex-post facto research was conducted in Bidar, Kalaburagi and Yadgir districts of Karnataka. Thirty farmers from each district were selected, making a sample size of 90 farmers and 10 farmers were sensitized and mobilized for intensive cultivation of super napier. Majority of the respondents were young aged holding a degree in a joint family with agriculture as a primary occupation with medium level of experience in animal husbandry. Majority of the respondents had small animal units and land holding with low income from agriculture. Majority of them participated in farm visits and training programs and seek information from friends, KMF, mobile and WhatsApp while majority had low level of awareness in green fodder production. They preferred non-leguminous fodder followed by rainfed and leguminous fodder with medium level of scientific orientation and high knowledge level in feeding practices. Majority of the farmers had low level of awareness and preferred non-leguminous fodder followed by rainfed and leguminous. Majority had high knowledge level about feeding practices while 51.64 per cent of farmers adopted green fodder cultivation. Lack of irrigation and less land holding were the major constraints in the study. It was found that super napier is high yielding with good nutritive value and there was an increase in milk yield after feeding. The study concluded that there is a need to improve the knowledge level of farmers related to different fodder production practices and help to improve their economic condition through increase in livestock production. Key words: Adoption, Green fodder production, Super napier, Action research, Mobilization. | |
