A total of 120 respondents who were availing the dairy services from different service delivery systems were selected using proportionate random sampling and data were collected and analyzed. Dairy co-operatives and public departments were the major training and advisory service providers to the dairy farmers in the study area. The training and advisory service of dairy cooperatives were perceived to be more effective than public departments in terms of knowledge and skills possessed by the extension personnel; infrastructure available with them; attitude and flexibility of the extension staff and need basis of training and advisory services. Hence the state and central governments should undertake sufficient extension initiatives to cater the needs of resource poor dairy farmers.enVeterinary ScienceArticle
