In the present study, a test was developed to measure the knowledge level of dairy farmers about scientific dairy farming. A preliminary set of 87 knowledge items was initially administered to 60 randomly selected dairy farmers for item analysis. The difficulty index and discrimination index was found out, and the items with difficulty index ranging from 30 to 80 and the discrimination index ranging from 0.30 to 0.55 were included in the final format of the knowledge test. A total of 48 items which fulfilled both the criteria were selected for the final format of knowledge test. Reliability of the test through split half method was found out to be 0.386 and the coefficient of correlation value by the test-retest method was 0.452, which was found to be significant at 1% level of significance. Hence, the knowledge test constructed was highly stable, reliable and validated for measuring what it intends to.

Sugarcane is the second most important industrial crop in the country occupying about 5 million hectares of area with the production of 376.9 mt.  Although more than 40% of the cane area in the country is in Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu ranks first in productivity of sugarcane. Even though Tamil Nadu is in higher productivity zone, the average farm level potential yield was very less which leads lot of scope for increasing production in Tamil Nadu. Sugarcane farmers from Tamil Nadu ranged from small to large. All the farmers not following all the recommended practices. Hence, a study is required to analyses the predominant technologies in the particular area and adoption behavior of the farmers to bridge the technological gap. With that idea in mind, a study has been taken up with the objectives that to document the technological mapping and to study the adoption behavior of sugarcane farmers at Subaramani Siva Co-operative Sugar Mill area in Dharmapui district of Tamil Nadu state. From Dharmapuri districts seven blocks were selected. From each block ten respondents were selected; thus 70 respondents were constituted for the study. The Study revealed that all the blocks are not similar in case of technologies, the predominant technologies are differing block to block. Adoption pattern for protection technologies reveled that integrated weed management was adopted by majority of the respondent. The technologies ‘pheromone trap’ and ‘soil trenching of recommended termiticides’ are not at all adopted by the respondents in the study area.

ABSTRAKPeningkatan produktivitas ternak dapat dicapai melalui perbaikan aspek teknis pemeliharaan yang meliputi perbaikan genetik, pakan, pengelolaan, perkandangan dan kesehatan ternak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi penerapan aspek teknis pemeliharaan sapi perah berdasarkan Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) pada peternakan sapi perah rakyat di Cibungbulang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei dan pembagian kuisioner, observasi serta pengukuran langsung. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan disajikan dalam bentuk frekuensi tabulasi untuk menggambarkan karakteristik penerapan setiap aspek pemeliharaan sapi perah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan aspek teknis pemeliharaan sapi perah berdasarkan Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) di peternakan rakyat Cibungbulang sebesar 69,75% pada musim hujan dan 67,25% pada musim kemarau. Aspek kesehatan ternak memperlihatkan nilai yang sangat rendah baik pada musim hujan maupun musim kemarau sehingga perlu mendapatkan perhatian khusus agar produktivitas ternak dapat ditingkatkan secara optimal.Kata kunci: biji kecipir, Trichoderma viride, pH, suhu, protein, serat kasarABSTRACTIncreased dairy cow productivity can be achieved through improving the technical aspects of maintenance which include genetic improvement, feed, management, housing and dairy cow health. This study was done to evaluate the application of the technical aspects of dairy cow maintenance based on the Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) on smallholder dairy farm in Cibungbulang. The research method used was a survey and distribution of questionnaires, observations and direct measurements. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in frequency tabulations to describe the characteristics and application each aspect of dairy cow maintenance. The results showed that the implementation of technical aspects of dairy cow maintenance was based on the Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) at smallholder dairy farm in Cibungbulang i.e 69.75% in rainy season and 67.25% in dry season. The health aspect of dairy cow shows a very low value both in rainy and dry season so need special attention to increased productivity optimally.Keywords: dairy cow, technical aspects of maintenance, GDFP

Currently, Ukraine has not control of sanitation and hygiene of obtaining raw milk on the farm. This is connected of the Order of the Prime Minister of Ukraine dated January 20, 2016, No. 94-р «On the recognition of invalid acts, and those that are not applicable in Ukraine, regulations of sanitary legislation» The assessment of some safety and quality indicators of milk is carried out only when milk is received for processing. An algorithm for the implementation of good dairy farming practices in Ukrainian farms has been developed, that give consideration the analysis of the current practices of raw milk production in Ukraine. The algorithm is based on the principles of good dairy farming practices and good farming practices for animal production food safety. The implementation of the algorithm will give an opportunity to provide and analyze of raw milk safety and quality parameters on Ukrainian farms. An algorithm of good dairy farming practices implementation on Ukraine farms take into account the creation of a working group, the development of 12 programs (which are provided with the 71st instruction) and the establish a farmstead laboratory.Give consideration research data about technical support and milk production practices at Ukrainian farms, we have been developed two blocks of programs to implement good dairy farming practices. a block of cow welfare programs and a block of programs for obtaining safe and high-quality milk-raw materials. The first – A block of programs for ensuring of cows welfare, includes programs: good stable climate, dairy barn and farm territory hygiene and technical condition, feed and water hygiene, good veterinary management, calves management, and occupational health of cow's carers. The second – A block of programs for ensuring safety and quality raw milk, includes programs: preparation of cows for milking, good milking practice, post-milking measures, control of support for technical serviceability of dairy equipment, good sanitary and hygienic status of dairy equipment and milking room, and the hygiene and occupational health of persons employed in the milking of the farm.

In this chapter the authors have tried to identify the feasibility of setting up a community radio station in agriculture hubs in India to create awareness about various agriculture credit schemes, government sponsored schemes, best farming practices and weather information amongst farmers. The authors are of the opinion that a more informed farmer will lead to better planning and stave off farmer suicides. While the community radio program could be an effective medium for disseminating information, its penetration and acceptance in a rural community depends upon some key factors such as proximity of the place to an urban location where visual media enjoys a wider audience. The chapter attempts to bring forth the challenges faced in establishing a CR program in Raghunathpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh and sheds light on why the initiative may not be viable. Finally the authors conclude the study by suggesting other alternatives of empowering the Indian farmer in such locations.
