In India, both organized and traditional systems of poultry farming are followed, but organized system is rapidly increasing due to advancement of technology, availability of resources, increased profitability and high entrepreneurship among poultry farmers. The structure of India's poultry industry also varies from region to region. While independent and relatively small-scale producers account for the bulk of production, integrated large-scale producers do account for a growing share of output in some regions. Integrators include large regional firms that incorporate all aspects of production, including the raising of grandparent and parent flocks, rearing day old chicks, contracting production, compounding feed, providing veterinary services, and whole selling. Still the traditional backyard system is prevalent in majority cases in rural areas. The raising per capita income of consumers, vicinity of urban markets, agro-climatic conditions, availability of labour and poultry farming practices are the important reasons among others for disparity between organized and unorganized system of poultry production.

Among the indigenous draught cattle breeds of Southern India, Kangeyam and Hallikar breeds were utilized by many farmers. Rice bran, straw, oilcakes, cotton seeds were the common feed that farmers fed to the animals during the work days. The feed cost varied from Rs.100 to Rs.255/pair/day. Shoeing was done at the age of 2 years and 6 months and the cost of shoeing was Rs.250/pair. The farmers were making the animal drawn implements with local artisans and they were unaware of new implements to reduce the drudgery of work cattle, designed by the Agricultural Machinery Research Centres in India. They preferred bullocks than tractors for certain agricultural operations and small fragmented & water logged lands also needed bullocks. The cost of ploughing was less while using the bullocks and the land fertility was also good. The average number of days of utilization of bullocks in agriculture was only 36 days in a year. The average annual working days of bullocks for small farmers were 221 days, 156 days for medium farmers and 47 days for large farmers. The farmers who were getting employment in both hiring out and carting were getting income of Rs. 86249 to Rs.88548/- in a year.

In India, a large number of innovative initiatives in the area of ICT have been undertaken by the government, non-governmental and private sectors to take ICT to agrarian community. In spite of number of projects oriented towards the transfer of technologies through ICTs, still the acceptability and utilization of ICTs is very low in the rural areas. This created the need of investigating knowledge, benefits, level of satisfaction and constraints in utilization of ICT-Village Information Centres by dairy farmers.An attempt was caried out to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives pertianing to transfer of technology for dairy development. The study revealed the extent to which the rural people and farmers are actively involved in harnessing ICT enabled VICs and will focus on the factors affecting the use of ICT enabled VICs.The content of this book will be helpful to policy makers, Government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), development professionals and other agencies, who are working for the rural development through the use of ICTs. This study may serve as a guide for further researchers who may examine impact of Village Information Centers in similar context

Importance of gender factor in livestock production has been recognized by government and development agencies worldwide including India. Women make substantial contribution in livestock production in India. Out of 22.45 million people engaged in animal husbandry, 16.84 million are women. Increased feminization of agriculture is likely to put greater role and responsibility on rural womenfolk to meet production demands due to rising consumption of livestock products. However, information level of women in animal husbandry remains low as their access to information sources, mass media, visits to credit, veterinary and input related institutions remain limited. Significant differences in information level of women and men livestock owners have been observed even though the participation of women in livestock training programmes is on the rise. Hence, suitable efforts are needed in modification of mode of training, content and training methodologies owing to differential training requirements of women farmers. The study is outcome of extensive literature review covering research thesis, scholarly articles and research reports including the author's own work for Master's dissertation.

There are millions of people all over the world who live in and rely on the forest. Some of the communities are exclusively living on livestock resources. Given the importance of the forest and more so the livestock raising in the forest by pastoralists, a study entitled "Forest based dairy husbandry practices of Van Gujjars: A case study in Nainital district," was taken up during 1999-2000 in Tanda forest range of Nainital district. The case study method with an anthropological approach was followed. The system of livestock production was unique in the sense that it was totally dependent on forest resources with very limited external inputs. Gujjars preferred natural breeding of the buffaloes but had negative attitude towards inbreeding . The buffaloes were maintained on forest grazing, tree fodder, straws and with little concentrate supplementation. The production level of the buffaloes was good. The animals were healthy and well adapted to the system while occasionally veterinarians' advice was sought by them, in case of emergencies. The milk was sold to the middlemen at a considerable rate. This low input - low output system of buffalo production appeared to be sustainable.
