Abstract   

The data collected from 150 respondents revealed that majority (84%) of the farmers were not familiar with the modem livestock practices. Concentrate mixtures, mineral mixtures, anthelmintics and vaccines are not utilized by the farmers due to lack of capital, non-availability and high prices. Lack of diagnostic laboratory facilities in the field, adulteration in the mineral and concentrate mixtures, anthelmintics and vaccines were also among the constraints in improving livestock production.
