Red Kandhari cattle in pure form and its crosses with Deoni cattle and non descriptive cattle are seen sporadically in all the seven districts of Marathwada region. So the present investigation was undertaken to study the adoption of cattle rearing practices by Red Kandhari cattle owners in Nanded district. It was observed from research that, maximum score was obtained for adoption of regional cattle breeds. The results regarding adoption of feeding practices for Red Kandhari cattle revealed that maximum score was given to use of gruel mixture after parturition and higher score 126 possessed by the practice i.e. feeding of colostrum to newly born calf. The category wise adoption index revealed that breeding practices (76.56) got first position followed by feeding practices (63.66) for Red Kandhari cattle. Lack of green fodder throughout the year and high price of concentrate (96.25%) were the major constraints faced by Red Kandhari cattle owners.
