Adoption behaviour of farmers towards small ruminant technologies was studied during June,
2015 with the help of PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) techniques in Soda village (Tehsil
Malpura, Tonk) in Rajasthan. Matrix ranking technique was used to assess the important
technologies of small ruminant rearing as well as major constraints faced by them. Study revealed
that all the farmers were adopting vaccination against enterotoxaemia, sheep pox, peste des petits
ruminants and foot and mouth disease. Fifty percent of farmers were providing concentrate feed to
ewe during pregnancy and lactation. A few (5.56%) farmers were growing grasses and planting
trees (anjan grass, ardu tree and ber bush) for small ruminants. Majority of farmers were rearing
Kheri sheep, but were interested in Patanwadi sheep. Seasonal analysis revealed that farmers
remained busy with different small ruminant practices throughout the year except in January. Lack
of grazing land, local market, proper shed and trough facilities were the common problems faced
by farmers.
