16. Why there is no specific T.V & Radio
Channel for Agri & Livestock?
Major Reason are
 No Sponsorship
 Revenue
 Lack of viewership
 Demand from the farmer
 Lack of agri & livestock events from the govt.

17. Conclusion :
 A system designed and operated under research conditions may
demonstrate considerably improved agronomic and economic
performance compared with the traditional smallholder set up,
however, acceptability and adoption by the farmer may be
based on social, and other parameters than those considered by
researchers.
 The benefits of a new system must provide sufficient incentive
(and the farmer must be convinced of these benefits) for the
smallholder farmer to abandon or modify traditional practices.

18. Cont…
 Community and social factors are likely to be very
considerable barriers to change.
 The provision of forages and the use of by-products are only
one part of the system. Unless the problems of an adequate
supply of cross-bred animals, diseases etc. are overcome, then
adoption of these innovations may be low.

19. What should Govt. do?
 To Start a specific T.V & Radio Channels for livestock
 Govt. should sponsorship to the T.V channels which are
doing occasionally program on livestock
 As a extension worker we should do educates farmers how
to improve small ruminant production & govt. announce
prizes for extension worker which are paying attention
toward that
 Govt. should Arrange special livestock events with regular
intervals
 Govt. should help farmer in each possible way so they can
improve their ruminants production
