Abstract
The present study was conducted in Udaipur district of Rajasthan state selected purposely since the district has the highest livestock population in Southern Rajasthan. It was observed that the majority of the respondents were from the middle age group, middle level of education, medium family size and medium dairy experience. Further, the majority of the respondents had not attended any training related to livestock farming. Majority of the respondents were having medium level of economic motivation, extension contact and mass media exposure. Based on the findings it is suggested that awareness about the right to education, and livestock training programmes should be carried out to educate, enhance the knowledge and skills of livestock owners. Majority of the livestock owners (68.05%) had a favourable perception towards livestock service delivery (LSD) systems followed by 22.22 per cent with a less favourable perception and 9.73 per cent with a more favourable perception.
