A study was undertaken to investigate the adoption of improved goat rearing practices in Navsari district of Gujarat. Data collected from 250 owners revealed that kid management (49.23%) had highest adoption index followed by breeding (49.1%), health care (34.2%) and feeding practices (24.8%) for goat. The overall adoption index for improved practices by goat keepers was 39.33% which indicated poor adoption of improved goat rearing practices. Thus to improve the adoption of goat rearing practices in study area, extension agencies have to arrange training and demonstration of improved practices to goat keepers.
