Abstract: Livestock farming is the most practised occupation in India and women play a notable role in livestock farming. The knowledge level of Livestock farmer producer groups (women SHGs) about livestock rearing were studied under breeding, feeding and health care practices. The study was carried out in Nagarkurnool and Siddipet districts of Telangana state. A pretested structured interviewed schedule was prepared and same was used to collect data during personnel interview with women SHGs. The overall analysis revealed that majority of respondents have medium level of knowledge (74.17%) followed by high (20.83%) and low (5.00%) level of knowledge levels. The study revealed that there is an urgent need for providing training and conducting camps to improve knowledge levels of livestock farmer producer groups.
