Abstract

The study was conducted to measure the adoption level and to identify the constraints faced by 120 rural women in backyard poultry farming. The study area was the Giridih District of Jharkhand. It was found that the majority of the respondents (i.e., 90.83%) were in a low category with respect to their level of adoption of backyard poultry rearing practices followed by medium level which is comprised of only 9.16 percent. The top three constraints faced by them were lack of vaccination facility, non-availability of improved breed and feed during summer. These constraints were followed by the incidence of disease (70%), lack of proper marketing channel (66.67%), lack of information (65%), non-availability of medicine (61.67%) and non-availability of Veterinary Doctor (50.00%). The awareness programs on various scientific poultry farm management practices will be effective to reduce the prevailing constraints.
