Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Studies on Management Practices Followed for Livestock Fodder Camps during Drought in Georai Tahsil of Beed District†was undertaken to study the different package of practices followed for livestock. Four livestock fodder camps from Georai tahsil of Beed district were selected with the objectives to study the feeding, breeding and health cover practices of livestock. The data was collected from the 400 respondents in four livestock fodder camp. The study revealed that 24.50 per cent of the respondents were marginal farmers, 28.75 per cent of the respondents were small farmers, 42.00 per cent of the respondents were medium farmers, 04.75 per cent of the respondents were large farmers while 00.00 per cent of the respondents landless labourers, respectively. Majority of livestock owners reared indigenous animal (93.50 per cent) followed by cross bred (21.25 per cent) and non-descript animals (04.75 per cent). All the farmers in fodder camp provide feed and fodder as decided by state government i.e. adult animals were fed with 15 kg green fodder, 6 kg dry fodder and 0.500 kg concentrates whereas growing 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 per cent, while cleaning and sanitation of camp and animal practiced by 96.50 per cent. Artificial insemination technique was followed by 77.25 per cent farmers, whereas 29.50 per cent of respondent followed mating of animal at right time. 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.
