Abstrakt: Total of 20 each intensive and extensive Kenguri sheep farmers, having the flock size ranging from 35 to 300 and 25 to 1480, respectively, of Yadgir district of Karnataka were selected and the sheep market orientation criteria were analyzed. The most farmers were dependent on body conformation (45.00%) followed by body weight (40.00%) and age (15.00%) in intensive system for price fixation. In extensive system, price fixing was equally dependent on age as well as body conformation (40.00%) followed by body weight (20.00%). Market availability (90.00 and 75.00%), market plan information (80.00 and 50.00%), market price information (60.00 and 45.00%) and satisfaction about market (65.00 and 40.00%) were having major and minor roles in intensive and extensive systems, respectively. The average market age (month) and body weight (kg) at sale of sheep (7.43 ± 0.26 and 33.93 ± 1.13) in intensive system were more as compared to extensive system (4.60 ± 0.19 and 20.00 ± 1.69). The average selling price per culled adult in intensive system was more compared to extensive system (Rs. 9059 ± 41.75 vs. 7998 ± 49.98), however, the average selling price per excess stock was more paralleled in intensive (Rs. 11247 ± 30.32) and extensive (Rs. 11099 ± 31.15) system. The average selling price per marketable stock in intensive system was less compared to extensive system (Rs. 313 ± 9.86 vs. 427 ± 12.89). Overall, the market orientation patterns of Kenguri sheep farmers under intensive rearing system were better when compared with extensive rearing system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
