Extension / Technology Transferred
As part of extension education, the institute has Institute Village Linkage Programme under which the scientists of the institute visit the adopted villages for educating farmers on aspects like farm animal nutrition, reproduction, management practices and animal production and for testing and refining the technologies developed at the institute.
The institute is popularizing the technologies mainly through Institute Village Linkage programme for the field veterinarians of Animal husbandry department, extension officers of milk federations and other governmental and non-governmental agencies. The dissemination is carried out through organizing workshops and interactive meetings of field veterinarians, extension officers, policy makers, planners, feed manufacturers and farmers. Several talks have been delivered highlighting the various technologies, their importance and their impact on improving animal productivity.
