Effect of some situational variables on attitude of livestock owners towards artificial insemination in cattle

Abstract

The availability of critical inputs was significantly and positively correlated with the attitude of livestock owners towards AI in cattle. Availability of a local breeding bull and conception rate of AI in cattie were significantly and negatively correlated. The liveslock owners having favourable attitude were characterized by not having a local breeding bull in their villages and these livestock owners fell high availability of critical inputs. Less number of inseminations required for a conception was one of the reasons for favourable altitude towards AI in cattle, whereae more number of inseminations required for a conception frustrate the livestock owners and they tend to develop unf avourable attitude towards AI in cattle.
