Abstract: The study was done in Gazelle District of East New Britain Province from October-November, 2020. Cluster farmer groups of four ecological communities were randomly selected for the study. It was conducted to assess the adoption of two farming systems; extensive and intensive farming systems. Four constrains were introduced to the farmers to provide likelihood evidence on lack of livestock intensification. The data was processed using spread sheet MS 2010 to present the parameter proportions in pie charts. Lack of livestock knowledge and skills (53%) was identified as one of the main challenges of livestock intensification in rural farming communities. Livestock farmers require evaluation strategies from the co-corporative efforts of government agencies, economic facilitators and institution to design a sustainable training package for livestock farmers.
