Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on Management Practices Followed for Livestock Fodder Camps during Drought in Wadvani and Dharur Tahsil of Beed District†was undertaken to study the different package of practices followed for livestock. Four livestock fodder camp from Wadvani and Dharur tahsil of Beed district were selected with the objectives to study the feeding, breeding, housing and health cover practices of livestock, to record the production performance and to study the constraints faced by the livestock owner. The data was collected from the 400 respondents in four livestock fodder camp. The study revealed that 25.50 per cent of the respondents were marginal farmers, 33.25 per cent of the respondents were small farmers, 38.25 per cent of the respondents were medium farmers, 3.00 percent of the respondents were large farmers while there is no respondents landless laborers respectively. 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 gm concentrates whereas small animals were fed with 7.5 kg green fodder, 3 kg dry fodder and 0.250 gm concentrates respectively. In management practises vaccination and health checking of animal were followed 100 per cent, while cleaning and sanitation of camp and animal practiced by 97.00 per cent. Artificial insemination technique was followed by 78.25 per cent farmers, whereas 25.25 per cent of respondent followed mating of animals. In production performance, the majority of cow i.e.35.49 per cent were yielding 2.1 to 4 liters milk per day whereas majority of buffalo i.e. 32.23 per cent were yielding 4.1 to 6 liters milk per day. In constraints, feeding constraints, production and marketing constraints, technical constraints and health related constraints were faced by farmer in livestock fodder camp. Hence it may be concluded that there is need to demonstrate scientific feeding and management practices, also management of fodder and water for summer season which is need for exploiting optimum production and proper management of livestock.
