Summary, etc. The objective of the study was to identify the training
needs of veterinary surgeons of Kerala for continuing veterinary
education. The data were collected from 130 veterinary surgeons of
the Animal Husbandry Department of Kerala. Questionnaires were
used for data collection.
The training need was not seen dependent on any of the
socio-personal characteristics of the respondents, viz., age, sex,
marital status, type of family, educational qualification, professional
experience, number of children, age of the youngest child, location of
residence, distance to work place, number of seminars, symposiums
etc., attended, number of professional journals read, number of
periodicals read and number of trainings attended.
Zoo and wild life was the most preferred general subject
matter domain for training among the nine studied. This was
followed by information technology, medicine, surgery, extension,
livestock products technology, obstetrics and gynaecology,
professional management and animal production in the descending
order of preference. The most preferred specific subject matter areas
were management of domesticated elephants, using computer in

office, modern diagnostic procedures, small animal surgery, modern
extension teaching methods, quality assurance of meat and meat
products, embryo transfer technology, service rules and regulations
and breeding and management of pet animals. The training
programmes being organised by the various organisations such as
KAU, IMG, KLDB, IVRI and CVE programmes proposed by
Veterinary Council of India were found to be either highly relevant
or relevant and hence these programmes might form part of eVE
programme.
The findings of task analysis pertaining to veterinary
practice indicated the importance of incorporating in the training
curriculum both the theoretical and practical aspects of management
of mastitis, administration of medicines, clinical examination of
animals, udder and teat surgery, post operative care, treatment of
fracture, artificial insemination in cattle, handling of frozen semen,
pregnancy diagnosis in cattle, maintenance of laboratory equipments, .
faecal examination and examination of milk samples.
The study further indicated the strategies to be adopted
In organising the CVE programmes. An institutional mode of
training was preferred to either distance learning or a combination of
both in the case of major domains viz., veterinary science, animal
production, live stock products technology, zoo and wild life, and
information technology whereas distance learning was the preference

In the case of extension and professional management. Trainers
from outside the parent organisation were preferred while organising
training programmes. The venue of training preferred was institutes
within the state in the case of short-term training and those outside
the state in the case of long-term training. The preferred periodicity
of a short-term training was a year or less than a year while that for
a long-term training was more than a year. The preferred duration of
a short term training leading to a certificate was 15 days and that
leading to a diploma was 90 days.
