Abstract
Livestock sector is an important part of agriculture in India and contributes significantly to the economy. It is a source of food, employment and income for a vast majority involved in agriculture and its allied activities. However the livestock production systems in India rely heavily on traditional practices. The lack of knowledge regarding scientific practices is a major constraint to improve the productivity of farm animals. Although there are various channels dedicated to the spread of information, the effectivity and timely availability of information is a major concern. The current article focusses on the availability of various sources of information to the Indian livestock farmers to obtain timely and vital information regarding animal husbandry practices.
