Abstract: The study entitled “Technological gap in dairy management practices.†was purposively conducted in Akola district of Vidarbha region. The study was conducted in Akola, Barshitakli and Balapur tahsils. The sample constituted 120 dairy farmers drawn from 3 milk collection centres. The exploratory design of social research was used. As regards the dependent variable, majority (86.67%) of the respondents were in the category of ‘medium’ technological gap, while 8.33 per cent were in ‘low’ category and 5.00 per cent were observed in ‘high’ category technological gap. The average technological gaps of respondents were 48.37 per cent which indicated ‘medium’ gap. Thus, it is obvious that on an average, five out of every ten recommended practices were not adopted by the dairy farmers.
Among the selected variables annual income land holding, herd size and type of breed were negatively and highly significantly correlated with the technological gap of dairy farmers. Whereas the variable age, education, family size, cropping pattern, economic motivation, scientific orientation, information seeking behavior, access to animal health facility and knowledge were non significant with technological gap of dairy farmer.
