Abstract

Abstract An innovation, no matter how well designed, would be perceived useful only when it is properly adopted. Practicability is the degree to which a particular dairy practice may be tried on a limited basis which can be communicated, the results visible, demonstrable and trialable on the farmer’s fields. In the present investigation practicability is studied under the subheads. A total of nine dairy innovations were suggested for adoption and 360 dairy farmers, Communicability, Visibility, Demonstrability and trialability who were first to adopt the innovations were selected from three districts of Andhra Pradesh i.e., Visakhapatnam, Krishna and Chittoor respectively. Results revealed that, the recommendations i.e, package of practices for rearing heifers, pregnant and lactating animals; feeding of area specific mineral mixture; strategies for enhancement of milk yield and quality; cultivation and feeding of azolla and use of ICT’s in adoption of innovations were perceived to be communicable, visible, demonstrable and trialable by majority of the respondents. The innovations possessing complicated technicalities may be made practicable by improvising skills through hands on training, interaction through mobile phones/social media and publicity through mass media.
