Abstract

An association between background variables and major constraints (availability of quality chicks, feed and veterinary aid; cost of chick and feed; middleman involvement and high transportation charges etc.) encountered by broiler farmers was studied. For this purpose districts of Kurukshetra, Bhiwani and Panipat of Haryana, respectively, and a total of 150 farmers, 50 from each district, were selected. The results revealed that Districts and education status of fanners significantly associated with majority of the constraints encountered by the poultry farmers.
