An efficient extension system is required to create awareness, educate and motivate animal farmers to adopt new technologies for enhanced productivity and better health care of their livestock. Traditionally, person-to-person contacts with individuals or group of farmers have been practiced to disseminate information despite the fact that the number of extension workers engaged in livestock sector remains woefully inadequate.
