Most of the researches in livestock management systems at farmers' level have revealed that the livestock owners have to depend mostly on the expert veterinarian for combating any disorder or disease in their animal and even for taking prophylactic measures for their herd.
The Egyptian General Authority for Veterinary Services mainly directed toward educate the livestock owners and farmers to help them in combating animal diseases by using different tools (poster and flier - Movies - television - seminars) to increase awareness of owners against animal disease and have a great effect in changing their knowledge and practice in decrease the hazards of these diseases.
Both aspects have their own importance. The extension service weighs more here in that if the user is better informed about the problems and solutions he can make better informed choices. The role of extension is also important in making people aware regarding the available basket of service choices, their costs and the advantages of utilizing the services.
Currently, we do not have a dedicated veterinary extension service in India and the extension needs are met by the input service delivery system which is not a very effective mechanism.
