Abstract
Most often, livestock is the only source of cash income for subsistence farms and also serves as insurance in the event of crop failure. Forage crops are essential for livestock growth, health and productivity. There is 23% deficit in dry fodder and 11% deficit in green fodder. To meet the ever-increasing livestock fodder and nutrient demand, there is a need for developing forage production technologies. In this article, the forage production technologies for different agroclimatic conditions are discussed to increase fodder productivity in the country.
