The problems faced by goat keepers in adoption of goat farming technology were lack of knowledge regarding improved breeds, non-availability of improved breeds, lack of training centres, lack of grazing land, high mortality in kids, lack of markets and seasonal variation in goat prices, non-availability of credit facilities, high cost and non-availability of concentrate mixtures, non-availability of veterinary hospitals and doctors near to villages were the major problems faced by goat keepers. The study also revealed that majority of the respondent goat keepers had medium level of adoption on selected goat farming practices.
