Primary data were collected through survey from randomly selected 100 sheep farmers. A semi structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Appropriate scales were developed to measure both independent and dependent variables. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the variables under consideration. Results of the study showed that the majority of the farmers’ possessed medium knowledge followed by the farmers having low knowledge for sheep rearing which represent 54% and 36% of the respondents respectively. From our survey we have identified ten (10) different problems faced by the sheep farmers. To compare among the problems, a rank order was made based on Problem Faced Index (PFI). PFI was the lowest in ‘High mortality of lambs’. It was observed that natural calamities ranked as the top most problem followed by unpopularity on consumption of sheep meat. For better understanding of the problems faced by the shhep farmers and to compare the findings of this research further study is recommendend considering larger sample size from sheep farming areas having the similar socio-economic and physical condition.Download
