A study was conducted in Thrissur
taluk of Thrissur district to understand the problems perceived by the farmwomen
in poultry farming. A random sample of 120 farm women were selected from the
two randomly selected blocks of Thrissur taluk. Inadequate knowledge of low
cost scientific cage construction, low hatchability of eggs in summer, problems
of predators, losses due to bacterial and viral diseases and financial difficulties
were the problems perceived as most serious by the farmwomen.
