A research was undertaken to study the livestock rearing patterns amid fringe villages in 4 selected forest range areas of Kaziranga National Park, namely Agoratoli range, Kohora range, Bagori range and Burapahar (Ghurakati range). It was found that majority of the respondents mostly practiced semi rangesystem of rearing livestock followed by open range with tying at night and close system. Meanwhile, respondents mainly preferred sheds separate from their house but in same courtyard (71%) for the livestock followed by sheds attached to the house (18%) and sheds at same courtyard and below the residential place (11%). While in the case of grazing area for livestock, respondents mainly preferred cultivated area after harvesting (69%) followed by nearby open field (23%) and park area (8%). It was also seen that majority of the respondents had medium level of family involvement in livestock rearing. Meanwhile most of the respondents fed locally available feed (97%) to their livestock while rest fed a mixture of locally available feed and concentrate feed
