Using local traditional knowledge in natural resources management is very important. This study aimed to evaluate the role of women traditional knowledge in livestock management in Imam Zadeh Saleh Kutah of Andika County. The results of this study indicated that rural people know the best approach for maximizing profitability of livestock productions, and they inherited this knowledge from their ancestors. Women have key role in economic status of the family as well as social issues. This study indicated that livestock management is not formed in group and it is rather managed individually. Meat production is the most important products of livestock management and in the next stages producing “butter”, “cooking oil”, “whey” and other products assist locals to enhance their family economic condition.
