Irrespective of literacy only 6.0% of the farmer had training on cattle fattening. Results showed that about 92.0% respondents used anabolic steroids for the duration of 3 to 6 months long cattle fattening (P<0.001) program. The chi-square value of annual income indicates the higher of annual income that the uses of anabolic steroids have increased.
