Abstract

Training needs in Animal Husbandry skills were assessed and training strategy for para-veterinarians was developed by ex-post- facto research design method in Nalgonda district of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh (presently in Telangana state). The most preferred training need was skill in diagnosis of different diseases of animals followed by skill on the new technologies in Animal Husbandry evolved by research institutions, skill in Artificial Insemination (AI), skill in pregnancy diagnosis, skill in identification and treatment of reproductive problems, skill in preparation of ointments, lotions and stock solutions required for the institution. A strategy was framed which highlights that training programmes should be based on expressed needs and immediate requirements of para-veterinarians.
