Abstract: The present investigation was undertaken to study of feeding, management practices adopted for animal and constraints faced by owner in Livestock Fodder Camp. Five livestock fodder camp from kaij tahasil of Beed district (Maharashtra) were selected for collection of data, from each camp 40 respondents were selected i.e. total 200 respondents. The study revealed that 27.50%, 32.50%, 36.00% and 4.00% of the respondents were marginal, small, medium and large farmers respectively. Majority of livestock owners reared indigenous animal (94.50%) followed by cross breed (45.50%) and 5.00% farmer had non-descript animal. All the farmers in fodder camp provide feed and fodder as decided by state government i.e. large animals were fed with 15 kg green fodder, 6 kg dry fodder and 0.500 kg concentrates whereas small animals were fed with 7.5 kg green fodder, 3 kg dry fodder and 0.250 kg concentrates respectively. In management practices vaccination and health checking of animal were followed 100%, while cleaning and sanitation of camp and animal practiced by 91.50%. Artificial insemination technique was followed by 75.00% farmers, whereas 46.50% of respondent followed mating of animal at right time. In constrains, feeding, production, marketing, technical and health related constraints were faced by farmer in livestock fodder camp. Hence there is need to demonstrate scientific feeding and management practices, also management of fodder and water for summer season which is need for exploiting proper management of livestock.
