The present farming system research was carried out in eighteen arid villages of two districts in
Rajasthan covering four zones. Analysis of data indicated that mixed farming (51.08%) was the
major occupation although 48.91 % of respondents opted animal husbandry as major occupation.
The advantages of camel in comparison to tractor were so many where as maximum number of
demerits of tractor in comparison to camel were perceived by arid farmers with favorable attitude
towards the utilization of camel. Most of the farmers having 1 camel (88.64%) fed their animal at
household level where as farmers having more than 4 camels, majority of them reared their camel in
extensive management practices. The Chi-square test indicated that camel keeping pattern significantly
(P< 0.01) influenced feeding management practices. Hence suitable measures need to be taken to
conserve the indigenous camel with proper feeding management in changing socio-economic scenario.
