The objective of this study was to identify and rank constraints in contract and non-contract broiler poultry farming in India’s Karnataka state. The data was collected from 90 contract and 90 non-contract broiler poultry farmers from Shivamogga, Davanagere and Chitradurga Districts. The data was analysed by using Garrett’s ranking technique. The most significant constraints faced by the contract broiler poultry farmers were high mortality due to diseases, commercial tariff for electricity charges, lack of financial support, quality of medicines and feed and inadequate extension advisory services. Most significant constraints faced by the non-contract broiler poultry farmers were, fluctuation in the market price, high mortality due to diseases, non-availability of chicks in time, inadequate extension advisory services and commercial tariff for electricity charges. The related implications for policy are discussed.
