Thesis Abstract
Knowledge and adoption of Improved Dairy Management practices
by Farm Women of Community Milking Centers
Yogamani, K. S.
The present study was conducted during 2012-13 in Mandya
district of Karnataka state to study the knowledge and adoption of
improved dairy management practices by farm women of community
milking centers. One hundred and thirty five dairy women spread over in
nine community milking centers of Mandya, Maddur and Pandavapura
taluks (15 each) were personally interviewed to collect relevant
information.It was found that 47.41 per cent of dairy farm women
belonged to medium knowledge category, whereas 34.81 per cent of
respondents belonged to high and 17.78 per cent belonged to low
knowledge category. Further, 42.96 per cent of dairy farm women
belonged to medium adoption category, while 34.08 and 22.96 per cent
of the respondents belonged to high and low adoption category,
respectively. Majority of the dairy farm women perceived Hygiene milk
production (99.26%), prevents adulteration(98.52%), requires less time
for milking (97.03 %), fetches more prices for milk (96.30 %), reduces
drudgery (94.81 %), no need to give additional feed while milking (80.00
%), labour saving (74.07 %), non dependency on skilled persons (73.33
%)and accurate feeding of calf is possible (35.56 %) as the advantages
and bringing cows to community milking centre and standing in a queue
system is time consuming (75.56 %) as the constraint in using milking
machine. Further, they have suggested for increasing the number of
machines per community milking centre (80.00 %), modification in the
milking machine for complete milking (78.52 %) and more price for
machine milked milk (74.07 %).
