The study find out that majority of the livestock beneficiaries (81.00 per cent) were in middle to old age groups, secondary level of education (57.00 per cent), small family size (64.00 per cent), higher level of animal husbandry experience (79.00 per cent), active social participation (69.00 per cent), small size of land holding (69.00 per cent), medium to large size of livestock possession (86.00 per cent), frequently accessed the information (70.00 per cent), medium to higher level of innovativeness (73.00 per cent), medium to higher level of risk orientation (82.00 per cent), moderate to higher level of scientific orientation (78.00 per cent) and 81.00 per cent earned their livelihood from two enterprises (animal husbandry + farming or animal husbandry + service/ business). In case of knowledge, majority of the livestock beneficiaries had high level of knowledge about breeding practices (74.00 per cent), feeding practices (60.00 per cent), management practices (66.00 per cent), and health care practices (72.00 per cent). In overall knowledge, majority of the livestock beneficiaries (76.00 per cent) were found with high level of knowledge about scientific management practices. Education of beneficiaries (0.3324**), social participation (0.2695**), source of information (0.3944**), risk orientation (0.4495**) and scientific orientation (0.4017**) found highly significant association with knowledge about scientific management.
