The present study on relationship between management factors in crossbred cattle and daysopenas well as the constraints faced by dairy farmers was purposively conducted in Bengaluru ruraldistrict of Karnataka.The data were collected using a structured pretested interview schedule from120 respondents selected randomly from four taluks viz; Devanahalli, Doddaballapur, Hoskote andNelamangala. The study revealed that number of artificial insemination (AI) in relation to conceptionand voluntary waiting period had a positive significant correlation to days open in dairy cattle. Lackof awareness on deworming of cattle was the major constraint among the respondents. Hence,the authors conclude that extension activities like meetings, discussions, mass media, etc. areto be planned and conducted by extension agencies to increase knowledge and thereby adoptionof recommended practices leading to increase production and income generation.
