With the increasing demand for dairy products and the need for efficient resource utilization, adopting improved dairy management practices becomes imperative for livestock entrepreneurs. The study took place in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, with three agroclimatic regions in each state. Sixty large commercial dairy farmers from different districts participated in the study. The analysis focused on adoption of improved dairy management practices by livestock entrepreneur. The results showed that adoption index in breeding, feeding, management, disease control and marketing by dairy entrepreneur is higher than that of conventional farmers.
