It was observed that majority of commercial dairy farmers fell under medium level of adoption category while distribution of farmers according to management practices showed that majority of farmers fell under high level of adoption category. The overall extent of adoption of SDFPs by the commercial dairy farmers was highest (79.62%) among the owners of large commercial dairy farms whereas medium and small commercial dairy farmers adopted SDFPs up to the extent of 74.72 and 73.53 percent respectively in the study area. The selected traits viz., experience, extension contact, mass media exposure, strength of milch herd, total herd strength, milk production, milk sale and entrepreneur ship were correlated positively and significantly with adoption of recommended SDFPs. Experience in dairy farming and milk sale were found to be two major factors which promote the commercial dairy farming in Haryana. 收起
