บทคัดย่อ

This report is a summary of the research disscussing the socio-economic condition of small livestock farmers in relation to their knowledge, understanding and health care of their livestock. Four villages in 4 districts in Chiang Mai Province, namely Sansai, Sankampaeng, Chomtong and Maetang were selected for this study during the production years of 1994-95. The research presents a clearer portrayal of the small livestock farmers, which it is hoped will be valuable for the promotion of livestock farming or livestock extension work conducted by the government as well as the private sectors in order to help increase the farmers’ income as much as possible.
