The PDS Team used different countable thing according to the situation
and availability such as small stones, seeds, beans and fodder or sugar
cane cuttings. The use of local common and daily use things creates
much interest and excitement among the farmers /livestock keeper.
Construction / drawing of one year time line on the ground and asking
the rain fall pattern to understand the seasons of the year, gave the
confidence to the farmers for participation in the process of making
seasonal calendar of livestock diseases present in the area/village.
Pictures showing the identity of particular season were used to
elaborate the season. The farmers were asked the incidences of
disease in different seasons of the year one by one by dividing
countable things in the sections under seasons. After each disease
scored, the participants with discussion and personal experiences
reviewed the result.
