A pre-tested interview schedule was developed and data were collected through interview technique. The results showed that the relationship of adoption level by the poultry farmers with their socio-economic status, correlation coeffi cients were calculated which indicated that in the pooled sample adoption level exhibited positively and highly signifi cant relationship with education (r=0.333**, P<0.01) and extension contact (r=0.258**, P<0.01) whereas mass media exposure (r=0.224*, P<0.05) and farm size (r=0.202*, P<0.05) exhibited positively signifi cant relationship with adoption level. Annual income from other source (r = -0.409**, P<0.01) showed negatively and highly signifi cant relationship with adoption level. Family size (r = -0.218*, P<0.05) exhibited negatively signifi cant relationship with adoption level. Majority (94.00 %) of the respondents adopted intensive system with total confi nement in the poultry shed followed by (6.00 %) semi-intensive system.
