Abstract
Green fodder plays an important role in fulfilling the nutritional requirements of animals and reduce the cost of milk production. India is endowed with 512 million livestock and about 16.81 million ha agricultural land. India, with 2.29% of the land area of the world, maintains about 10.71% livestock population of the world. Green fodder is being cultivated only on 8.4 million ha (5.23%) of cropping area and the available forages are poor in quality and deficient in protein and minerals, which has a significant bearing on production potential and productivity of livestock.Downloads
