Diffusion and Adoption of Livestock Deworming Technology in Different Agro-climatic Regions of India
71 / 43
Abstract
Livestock technologies are generated in various research institutions with the notion to explore the possibilities of
uplifting the livelihoods of farming communities. It is generally perceived that the extent of absorption of these
technologies in field conditions has always been a researchable issue in India. In this situation, an effort was made to study
the diffusion and adoption status of deworming technology in different agro-climatic zones of India using primary and
secondary data collected from various accessible resources. Group discussion and personal communication with
veterinary officers and other experts was also conducted to gain insight and evolve action plans for effective adoption and
diffusion of deworming. The study concluded that there was lack of awareness and poor adoption of deworming due to
various constraints faced by farmers in deworming. The study suggests that there is a better scope for improving the
diffusion and adoption of livestock deworming by means of addressing these constraints and creating favourability of
livestock farmers towards livestock deworming technology.
