Abstract

Crop Residues for Sustainable Livestock production

Mahesh MS and Madhu Mohini

Global livestock production is constrained by the inadequate supply of feeds and forages for optimum production. At the same time land devoted for forage production does not likely to increase in the near future due to urbanization, industrialization etc. In this respect, abundantly available crop residues possess immense potential as ruminant feed resource, whose prospects are outlined briefly in this paper.
