      abstract = {Over the years, role and strength of dairy goat is  increasing in Barani Tract of Punjab. The bread and butter  needs of poor and small household are largely depends on  livestock specifically on the dairy goats. The 80 percent  livestock management activities are mostly depends upon  women; therefore under the experimentation of feed  supplementation mainly women's were included as research  partners. The women perceptions regarding the effectiveness  of feed supplement were collected by using a well  structured questionnaire. A total of 62 women's were  included in the sample size. Results indicated that 95.08%  women's had shown their complete satisfaction from the feed  supplements given to dairy goats. A large majority of the  respondents (98.31) were in view that the given feed  supplements had increased their milk productivity. Overall,  82.69 % sample women had pointed out that their knowledge  about goat management has increased with this  experimentation. Both empirical and experimental data shows  a significant increase in milk yield i.e 520 ml and 562 ml  respectively. The marginal rate of returns from milk was  about 246.38 % that also revealed economic significance of  the feed supplementation intervention to the dairy goats.  The sustainability of feed supplementation has serious  problem, about 67.27 percent respondents were in view that  feed supplementation to dairy goat will not sustain due to  resources poorness, availability and relatively importance  of goat in household economy.},
