The 'Z'value for environment friendly breeding, feeding, healthcare and management practices was -8.06, -9.726, -9.220 and -10.224; respectively. Higher the magnitude of Z value (irrespective of negative sign) greater will be its significance level and thus showing respondents' management practices knowledge gain was maximum than other sub-components viz., breeding, feeding and healthcar
