Discussion

Analysis reveals significant gaps in knowledge and adoption among buffalo farmers in India, suggesting tailored interventions may enhance practices.

Awareness of key practices among buffalo farmers is high, yet adoption rates remain low, highlighting a critical gap.
The largest disparity in practices involves silage-making, where awareness was 71.5%, but adoption only reached 32.9%.
Cluster analysis shows smallholder farmers practice only about 25% of techniques, while commercial farmers achieve near full adoption at 90.5%.
Education and herd size were identified as significant predictors of practices, with income also playing a critical role.

Makarabbi et al. (2025) studied this question.
