Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 45
Abstract
The present study was conducted as ex-post facto knowledge test in the Rewa district of the Baghelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh. The knowledge was measured using a modified knowledge test developed by Sah, 2005 [19]. 48.33%, 28.33% and 23.34% Peri-urban respondents had medium, low and high level breeding knowledge respectively; 43.33%, 38.33% and 18.34% respondents had medium, low and high feeding knowledge; 60.00% low, 31.67% medium and 08.33% high level healthcare knowledge; 51.67% medium, 31.67% low and 16.66% high level management knowledge; 56.67% medium, 25.00% high and 18.33% low clean milk production practices knowledge and 46.67% medium, 36.67 % low and 16.67% had high level of overall knowledge while that of rural respondents had 51.67% low, medium 33.33%, 15.00% high level breeding knowledge; 55.00% low, 31.67 % medium and 13.33 % high level feeding knowledge; 66.67% low , 30.33% medium and 3.33% high level of healthcare knowledge; 48.33% medium, 41.67 % low, 10.00 % high level of management knowledge; 51.67% medium, 35.00 % low and 13.33 % high level clean milk production knowledge and 48.33 % low, 40.00% medium and 11.67% had high level of overall knowledge. The mean score of knowledge secured by peri-urban respondents was 13.83±2.37, 14.57±3.42, 10.35±1.73, 16.79±2.89, 17.24±3.19 and 72.78±8.92 while rural farmers secured 11.32±1.36, 12.46±2.49, 09.04±2.63, 13.21±3.38, 13.31±2.53 and 59.35±8.82 in breeding, feeding, healthcare, management, clean milk production and overall improved dairy farming practices knowledge respectively. In breeding, feeding and overall knowledge about dairy farming practices, peri-urban farmers were more knowledgeable at the 5 % level of significance and in clean milk production and management; knowledge level was at the 1 % level of significance. Non-significant difference was observed in health care practices in peri-urban and rural dairy farmers.
