This intern leads to poor knowledge level about the livestock technologies and low adoption. In this context, an attempt was made to study and explore the knowledge level of dairy farmers towards Artificial Insemination (AI) in Bidar District of Karnataka, India. A pretested interview schedule was used to collect data from 200 dairy farmers by personal interview supplemented by information from focused group discussion with farmers and key informants. The study revealed that majority of dairy farmers (62.5%) belong to medium knowledge level followed by 23.0 per cent and 14.5 per cent for low and high knowledge level respectively about AI. The knowledge level of dairy farmers was found to be non-significantly correlated with age, education, social participation, land holding, annual income, livestock size and decision making ability while major occupation, innovativeness, information seeking behaviour, scientific orientation and economic orientation were significantly correlated in the study region. Thus, there is a need to communicate and educate farmers about the importance of AI through various channels for popularization of technology. Further, education of farmers about heat detection, management, nutrition and breeding is needed leading to more animals being inseminated at an optimal time resulting in higher pregnancy rate. Keywords: Artificial insemination, knowledge level, dairy farmers. Introduction The livestock sector is one of the fastest growing segments of the agricultural economy, particularly in the developing world (Delgado et al., 2009). However, there is a considerable debate on India s ability to maintain milk supplies to its growing population in the coming decades. Despite rapid advances in the animal husbandry technologies and their roles in improving livestock sector, productivity of this sector still is very low in India (Chander et al., 2010) which may be due to various reasons like poor adoption and diffusion of new technologies and poor knowledge level of farmers etc. Although, Artificial Insemination (AI) has been considered as a promising tool to improve genetic potential of dairy animals, yet, many farmers at field conditions are unaware about the technology with huge regional variations in terms of knowledge level and adoption of this promising technology. Infact, one of the factors is about ignorance of proper time of insemination of animal. Thus, lack of knowledge of farmers about timely AI hinders the process of its adoption. Therefore, knowledge level of dairy farmers about AI and factors affecting its successful adoption are of paramount importance. With this theoretical background, the authors have made an effort to study the knowledge level of farmers regarding AI among farmers in Bidar district of Karnataka, India. Materials and Methods An ex-post facto and exploratory study was conducted in Bidar District of Karnataka during February to June 2013 to assess the knowledge level of dairy farmers about AI and factors affecting the knowledge level. A multistage random sampling technique was followed to collect data from 200 farmers using pretested semi-structured interview schedule. Within Bidar District of Karnataka state, all
2 the five blocks were selected and two villages per block were selected randomly. Further, 20 farmers per village were selected in consultation with key informants, local leaders and progressive farmers to make a total sample size of 200 farmers for the study. Knowledge level of dairy farmers was studied using the knowledge test developed by Kunzru and Tripathi (1994) based on the correct and wrong answer responded by the farmers with the scoring of one and zero respectively. The mean was determined using the total score and the number of total questions (12) used in the study. Based on mean and SD values, the farmers were categorized into three categories of knowledge level. In order to study the factors affecting knowledge level, the collected data was statistically analyzed using correlation and regression coefficients. Results and Discussion Personal and socio-economic characteristics of dairy farmers The study of personal and socio-economic characteristics was carried out with reference to age, education, occupation, land holding, annual income, social participation, livestock possession, innovativeness, information seeking behaviour, decision making ability, scientific orientation and economic orientation. The data is furnished in Table 1. Table 2 depicts the knowledge level of dairy farmers about AI which included different practices related to AI followed by dairy farmers in the study area. The response of the farmers with regards to heat, heat cycle, heat detection, nutrition, reproductive disorders and parasitic load was collected as depicted in Table 2. The study also focused on the knowledge level of dairy farmers about different practices related to breeding and AI. These findings were almost similar to the report of Quddus (2012) with regard to breeding practices followed by dairy farmers due to poor knowledge about the practices.

I kg The study revealed that majority of the dairy farmers (62.5 %) belongs to medium knowledge level category followed by 23.0 and 14.5 per cent for high and low level of knowledge level, respectively (Table 3). This may be due to poor education and low information seeking behaviour of the farmers in the study region. The farmers also complained about the poor conception rate through AI which might also be a hindrance factor for the farmers. Almost similar findings were reported by Patil et al. (2009) and Rathod et al. (2014). The knowledge level of dairy farmers was found to be non-significantly correlated with age, education, social participation, land holding, annual income, livestock size and decision making ability while major occupation, innovativeness, information seeking behaviour, scientific orientation and economic orientation were significantly correlated in the study region (Table 4). Table 4 also depicts that Co-efficient of determination (R 2 ) of the independent variables was It means that per cent of total variation in the knowledge level about AI was explained by 12 selected independent variables in the study (Table 4).
