This study was planned to analyse and assess the technical backup facilities and to analyse data of adequacy of veterinary extension services to animal owners.Khartoum Statewas selected purposely due to the presence of Federal Ministry of Animal Resources, Fisheries and Rangeland (FMAFR) and State Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Wealth and Irrigation (SMAAI) that are supposed to provide extension services to the farmers. Primary data were collected through interviews and questionnaires while secondary data were collected from annual reports of FMAFR and SMAAI during the years from 2011 to 2015. Five directors, 25 extensionists and 15 technical workers were interviewed in the Directorates of Extension. About 135 animal owners also filled questionnaires. The data were analysed using SPSS program. The results showed that the respondents of 135 animal owners were composed of 28% illiterate; with the highest (14.8%) illiteracy in Khartoum North. A high proportion (72%) had a degree of education. Those who received veterinary extension services were 50.4% of the respondents. The respondents who keep their animals in farms comprised 67.4% and in household (backyard) 20%. The extension messages in the annual reports of FMAFR and SMAAI poorly addressed zoonosis. Approximately, half (49.6%) of the respondents did not receive any extension services. A considerable proportion (42.7%) of those who had services recevied extension from sources other than extensionists. In addition, 35.3% of the respondents didn’t see the extensionists in their location. The 180 respondents assessed the elements of communication process (source, message, channel, and receiver), the technical equipment, the administration budget, evaluation of the administration staff and the constraints of the extension work. Forty percent of the extensionists reported that the main constraints facing the extension work were low and irregular budget from Ministry of Finance while 16% reported the lack of extension role in ministry projects and 12% reported that weak coordination between ministries and targeted communities. The assessment revealed that the administration efforts to deliver extension messages were not enough due to inadequate number of human resources according to 56% of the respondents. No extension records are available before the year 2011 in the two ministries. Moreover, even after this year follow up, Monitoring and Evaluation system and measuring the effect and impact of the extension messages in the annual reports of the two ministries were not found. It was concluded that the role of veterinary extension services is lacking in the field. It is evident that coordination among FMAFR and SMAAI and the targeted communities was not adequate. It is recommended that further detailed studies be carried out to determine the needs to improve the veterinary extension delivery services in Khartoum State and in other states. The extension services are, also, to be revitalized to cope with the requirements of livestock production and productivity improvement.
