The valuable factors regarding Kenguri sheep flock composition and farmers employment generation were computed during the study. From both intensive and extensive rearing systems 20 farms were chosen randomly on accessibility basis from- Northern Eastern dry agro-climatic zone i.e., Yadgir district of Karnataka, India. The analysis was performed from January to February in the year 2022, for a period of 2 months. The main components of this work were tabulated by structured proforma by calculating mean, standard deviation and P-value. The total flock size was more intensive rearing system (270.46) when compared to extensive rearing system (122.15) and the other constituents of sheep flock were better seen in intensive rearing system than that of extensive rearing system. The sheep farmers have spent more time for feeding and watering of adults (1.75 and 1.60) hrs and lambs (1.55 and 1.45) hrs, followed by health care (1.17 and 1.10) hrs in intensive and extensive rearing systems, respectively, than other activities. As the flock size and employment play a major role in socio-economic profile of marginal farmers, so this type of evaluation uplifts the sheep farmers for more such rearing and breeding ventures in coming days.
