Total 145 farmers were selected from two blocks Deolikot and Dwarson from Almora district as respondents by using random sampling method. Data were collected by personal interview with help of well-structured telephonic interview schedule and data were subjected to standard statistical analysis. The device was developed to measure the adoption level of farmers regarding selected four major dairy management practices i.e. breeding,improved feeding, health care management and other management practices by individual dairy farmer. It was found that maximum number of farmers are adopting good management practices for rearing the dairy animals i.e. 100 percent farmers were following heat detection and colostrum feeding whereas 85.51 percent farmers were growing green fodder. 44.14 and 55.7 percent farmers were practicing vaccination and deworming respectively while 13.79 percent were practicing treatment to umbilical cord therefore there is still scope to improve adoption level of dairy farmers through providing technical knowledge about improved dairy management practices. Higher level of adoption ultimately increases the livelihood status of dairy farmers. 收起
