Jaisalmer, Bikaner and some parts of Churu districts. On the basis of highest sheep population Jaisalmer sand Bikaner district were selected for this research study. Three tehsils were chosen for the research study on the basis of the highest population of sheep in three tehsils from each district. Consequently, a total of six tehsils were chosen from the two districts. Each tehsil's five villages were chosen based on which village had the highest number of sheep. For the objective the research, thirty villages were therefore deliberately chosen from six tehsils in the Jaisalmer and Bikaner districts. 150 sheep farmers were chosen from each district and 10 sheep farmers from each village were included in the proportional random sample used to choose the respondents. With the use of a structured questionnaire, 300 sheep, a mix of small, medium, and large sheep farmers were questioned.
