Description
The book covers all the significant aspects of fodder crop sustainable production which is not available in existing books.
The livestock sector is one of the critical components of GDP and contributes significantly to most economies of agricultural countries. It plays a vital role in sustainable livelihood, poverty alleviation, and generating year-round income for rural and urban populations from regional and global perspectives. Increasing human population pressure, especially in developing countries, indicates a massive increase in the consumption of livestock products. Fodder crops are the primary and cheapest source of feed for livestock. A regular supply of adequate and nutritious fodder is essential to strengthening this sector. An extensive literature review revealed that feed shortages or poor-quality fodder are particular constraints to the world's livestock sector. These shortages affect milk production, adult and calf health, calving rates, and livestock numbers.
