The study was carried out in Namakkal District of Tamil Nadu with an objective to ascertain the constraints perceived by the poultry entrepreneurs. For this, purposive sampling was adopted to select two talukas having more poultry population and the same criteria was used to select two blocks each from two talukas. By stratified random sampling with proportionate allocation a total of 200 respondents were selected from the four blocks. The study revealed that financial constraint was major constraint followed by raw materials, marketing, electricity and labour constraints.
