The study was conducted in Haveri district where Kamataka's first Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Hanumanamatti is situated Krishi Vigyan Kendra is organising regular training programmes in Agriculture and related aspects. Dairy Husbandry is one of the important training programmes conducted by the KVK.  A sample of 150 dairy farmwomen (DFWs) comprising of 75 trained and 75 untrained farm women was selected based on random sampling procedure. Highest percentage of both trained (80%) and untrained (63%) DFWs fell in medium knowledge level category. Out of the selected eleven important dairy production practices suitable for the area, trained DFWs had less knowledge in only one practice; whereas untrained DFWs knowledge was found to be meager in at least seven practices. Highest percentage of both trained (87%) and untrained (60%) DFWs fell in medium adoption category. Majority of the trained DFWs has adopted all the eleven important practices selected for the study, whereas only two practices were adopted by the untrained DFWs. Hence many more training programmes have to be planned in dairy husbandry. The profile of socio- economic characters and constraints encountered by the DFWs was also studied.
