The current research investigates Socio-Economic Characteristics of Herders Of Irrigated Plains. Data were collected from primary as well as secondary data. It was revealed that household head in rice, mixed and cotton zones of Punjab was 31, 36 and 33 years respectively (table 44). it ranged from 20-56, 25-6 1 and 23-50 yeas in rice, mixed and cotton zone in Punjab, respectively. Number of years of farming experience might positively be associated with risk taking, particularly in the adoption of crop production technology. Mean years of farming experience of household head in rice and cotton zones of Sindh was 29 and 34 years, respectively. It ranged from 21 to 48 and 24 to 58 respectively (table 44). The farming experience plays a significant role in the adoption of improved production technology and managing institutional arid technological mobilization.

A pace of development process may closely be linked with level of education and skills of human resource within a society. Therefore, education can be regarded as an important factor affecting livestock farmers’ and herders’ participation in developmental activities and adoption of improved technologies and practices related to all kinds of livestock enterprises including camel husbandry. Educational levels of sample farmers is given in table 72. Majority of them (92.26%) were illiterate where as only

This research investigates the camel production system in Pakistan. Data were collected from various primary and secondary sources. The results indicates that Livestock production is main land use in the western Balochistan mountainous region, Sulaiman mountains and Rod Kohi areas. It is a traditional system based upon rangeland grazing in hills, valleys etc and integrated with crop farming depending; on availability of run off water. The livestock component of farming system is managed in such a way to meet much of subsistence needs of any farm family during a year whenever water is not sufficient for crop growth. Most area is used for grazing by camels, sheep, goats and cattle. These are owned by nomads as well as local settled population.
