“…Inadequate funding hindered not just the program's implementation but also its outcomes, which affected the performance of FEFs. These findings are in line with the findings of Ratnayake (2012), Kshash and Oda (2021) and Verma et al (2020). The second major constraint perceived by the FEFs was the lack of monitoring and evaluation of various schemes.…”

“…These results concur with those of Patel (2015) and Victor and Anilkumar (2019). Administrative work, including attending meetings, preparation of reports, documentation and excess paperwork have been reported as the major constraints by field extension workers (Thun et al, 2018;Verma et al, 2020). Other constraints perceived by FEFs were lack of coordination among themselves, lack of training in advanced technologies and lack of motivation from higher officials.…”

The study was conducted in Kerala state in 2021–2022, with the objective of identifying the constraints related to effective role performance as perceived by the Field Extension Functionaries (FEFs) of the Dairy Development Department (DDD). Through non-proportionate stratified random sampling, a sample of 120 FEFs was chosen, of whom 60 were Dairy Extension Officers (DEOs) and 60 were Dairy Farm Instructors (DFIs). The study found that inadequate infrastructure facilities and lack of transport facilities were the major physical constraints perceived by the respondents. Among organisational constraints, inadequate staff strength and heavy administrative work were cited as the major constraints. The most significant technological constraints perceived were inadequate knowledge about dairy innovations among the farmers and lack of technical support for implementing schemes. Inadequate budget allocation for programme execution and lack of monitoring and evaluation of schemes were the major managerial constraints. Under communication constraints, weak research-extension-farmer linkage, and lack of feedback from farmers were perceived as the major ones.

“…Additionally, not all districts in the research area had a disease investigation laboratory which made it quite difficult for a veterinarian to transfer samples of inquiry from remote locations to the centre for accurate investigation. The results are dissimilar in findings of Verma et al [10] which found that the main constraint in delivering of animal health services in Haryana and Punjab states was lack of participation of Veterinary Officers in various policy making and planning process and similar in findings of Alafiatayo et al [11] which reported that lack of suitable instruments, diagnostic tools and equipment was the most commonly cited barrier in the provision of animal healthcare services by veterinarains in Ethiopia.…”

The present study was purposively carried out in Kashmir Division of Jammu and Kashmir based on the availability of records for data collection at respective Government, Veterinary Healthcare Centers. The aim of the study was to get a knowhow about various challenges encountered by veterinarians and dairy farmers while delivering animal healthcare services in Kashmir. The many challenges/obstacles that veterinarians encounter while providing animal healthcare services, was the absence of efficient diagnostic laboratories with suitable infrastructure in veterinary clinics with a constraint index of 1.00, followed by livestock farmers' delay in bringing animals in for treatment (CI =0.97),inadequate transportation facilities (CI= 0.89). whereas poor supply of inputs with a constraint index of 0.95, followed by difficulty in availing veterinary services during emergencies (CI= 0.92) and non-availability of animal healthcare services round the clock ( CI=0.91) were the major constraints that majority of the livestock owners faced while availing the various animal healthcare services. The study's conclusions have given policymakers important information they need to know about the possibility of enhancing AHS in the Union Territory.

“…Few farmers held a misconception that the calves conceived through AI are usually unhealthy and there was early emergence of horns among calves. Study conducted by Verma (2020) reported that farmer's belief on village quack and hesitations to contact veterinary officers were among the serious constraints. According to Saharia (1990), veterinarians in Assam similarly cite being misled by quacks as one of their biggest challenges.…”

This study estimated the adoption rate of Artificial Insemination (AI) among large ruminants based on primary data collected from 200 farm households in Jodhpur district from 2019 to 2022. The composition of cow and buffalo population was 74 and 26 per cent in the study villages. 56 per cent farmers in cows and 13 per cent in buffaloes adopted AI with a success rate of conception after first insemination of 31 per cent in cows and 22 per cent in buffaloes. AI cost ranged from Rs. 400-800/- and Rs. 500-1000/- per insemination in cows and buffaloes respectively. Breeding cost through pedigreed bull was comparable to insemination in both cows and buffaloes. Subsistence mode of livestock rearing and natural grazing on community pastures were the main reasons for low adoption rate of AI. Farmers ensured that their buffaloes were sired only through pedigreed bulls. Since, pedigreed bulls were not available in all villages, their availability in villages or at the selected farmers on payment basis is required for genetic improvement of cattle.
