An ex-post facto research design was used to analyse andcompare the structural and functional aspects <strong>of</strong> the operating agencies/organisations like state department <strong>of</strong> Animal Husbandry, private and semigovernmentorganisations and consultants involved in livestock development withreference to the identified services which influence the privatisation <strong>of</strong> veterinaryservices in Andhra Pradesh. The various issues pertaining to the situational factorsviz. policy support, input support, marketing support, industrial support, MNCintervention, export potentiality, institutional and organisational support wereanalysed, synthesised and discussed. The initiatives which will also influence thefeasibility <strong>of</strong> privatisation <strong>of</strong> veterinary services were discussed at appropriate places.IntroductionIn most <strong>of</strong> the developing countries thelivestock extension services have beentraditionally funded, managed and deliveredby the public sector and this public sectormonopoly came under a threat first in 1930’sas many started questioning the desirability<strong>of</strong> this situation on economic and efficiencygrounds when it became clear that thegovernment agencies are unable to providequality livestock health services (Anteneh,1984; De Haan and Nissen, 1980). The livestockpopulation has increased enormously and inthe recent past the government budgets havenot kept pace and government agencies havesuffered from lack <strong>of</strong> funds (Carney, 1998). Theconcerns being raised about the efficiency andeffectiveness <strong>of</strong> public sector veterinaryservices have led to search <strong>for</strong> an alternativemechanism <strong>of</strong> providing those services. Thus,the emphasis in recent years has been shiftedover to decentralisation, cost recovery,withdrawal from selected services andcontracting, encouraging private veterinarypractitioners <strong>for</strong> privatising the livestockextension services.* Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essor and Pr<strong>of</strong>essor & Univ.Head (Retd), respectively, Department <strong>of</strong> Veterinary &A.H.Extension, College <strong>of</strong> Veterinary Science, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.Part <strong>of</strong> Ph.D thesis <strong>of</strong> first author submitted to the Acharya N.G.Ranga Agricultural University,Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.
