Abstract: Dairying in India has been considered to be playing a crucial role in Indian economy. The level and speed of adoption of dairy innovation by farming community has been far from satisfaction though it has direct bearing on dairy farm production. The slow pace of adoption of improved dairy practices is attributed to various factors. A firsthand knowledge of these factors to the extension personnel would create the speedy adoption of dairy innovations in the villages. The net performance of domestic livestock is the result of the combined influence of all these factors. Advance made in management and technological procedures adopted in most of the modern livestock enterprises, have contributed enormously to make the livestock industry profitable, in several cases these attitudes have markedly influenced the health of animals and economy of livestock farm.
