Abstract :
National level production of livestock and livestock products in India has increased over the years even though many households involved in livestock production have continued to be poor and food insecure. It is perceived that poor performance of dairy businesses is stemming from poor business growth caused by certain business related factors. Consequently, a study was conducted to establish factors influencing business growth of smallholder dairy farming enterprises in Salem District of Sankari taluk, Tamilnadu. The study established that business management skills influence growth of diary enterprises and that interaction with extension service providers positively impacted on the earnings of the dairy farmers. Further it was established that the size of the dairy businesses are not directly related to age of the enterprises implying stagnation of the older enterprises as it is not consistent with growth model of business enterprises. The objectives of the study were to establish the influence of farmer's business management skills, and extension support services on the growth of dairy farming business.
