Abstract

The present study was carried out to analyse the constraints perceived by the farmer in goat rearing in Etawah District of Uttar Pradesh. A total 120 farmer actively involved in goat rearing was randomly selected from the study area. The data was collected through a semi-structured interview schedule consisting of factors that were affecting the Jammunapari goat production. The data were tabulated and percentage score was calculated to analyze the factors as perceived by the respondents. The study revealed that shrinking of grazing land / lack of grazing land, inadequate availability of breeding buck (non-availability of improved breeding bucks), lack of veterinary services at the door step at time of emergency (lack of veterinary aid) and middleman not providing remunerative price to kids were the main constraints in the major domain of feeding, breeding, health care and marketing respectively.
