Abstract: India, renowned for its extensive agricultural heritage, ranks second globally in terms of dairy cow population but fifth in cow milk production, indicating inefficiencies in dairy management practices. This study investigates in title "Studies on Managemental Practices on Cattle in Bharatpur District of Rajasthan" Conducted in July 2022 across Kumher and Deeg blocks, the research aimed to examine feeding and housing practices and identify constraints in cattle management. Data collection involved field surveys, interviews, and direct observation, focusing on cattle statistics, gender distribution, housing systems, and floor types. The result reveal a parity in cattle numbers across both blocks, with Kumher recording 50 male calves, 103 female calves, and 37 bulls, while Deeg had 50 male calves, 96 female calves, and 38 bulls. The study underscores the higher number of female calves, indicating a strategic focus on enhancing dairy production. Housing practices varied, with a preference for open and under-tree housing systems due to economic constraints. The types of floors used for cattle housing also showed variations, highlighting the need for improved housing solutions to ensure cattle health and productivity.
