The present study was undertaken to investigate the constraints faced by livestock owners in adoption of scientific animal husbandry practices in two KVK adopted and two non-adopted villages in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh. Thirty respondents were selected randomly from each village. Thus, a total of 120 respondents who possessed at least 2 or more dairy animals were personally interviewed and data collected by using interview schedule. In KVK adopted villages poor results of artificial insemination, distant location of veterinary hospital from farmers’ house and poor availability of concentrate and mineral mixture were major constraints, whereas, in non-adopted villages, major constraints were demand for additional money along with prescribed artificial insemination fee, distant location of veterinary hospital and lack of green fodder availability.
