The indigenous technical knowledge (ITK) regarding animal husbandry is considered as old as domestication of various livestock species. Unfortunately, these practices which are in vogue throughout the rural India are little documented and there is danger of extinction of this knowledge. Thus it is become imperative to collect and document these practices. A semi structured interview schedule was used for the data collection from 10 traditional healers and 120 livestock owners. It was found that improved farm implements aid not only in saving labour but also increases working efficiency at farm. The majority of the respondents (56.67%) were found belonging to medium material possession category while 18.33 percent and 25.00 percent of respondents were of low and high material possession category, respectively.
