About the Book: Feeding Farm Animals
Feeding farm animals for optimum and economic production is the most important
aspect, costing about 60-70% of total input on animal raising. Keeping this in
view forage based animal farming seems to be the appropriate answer for the
successful development of animal husbandry in the developing countries like
India. A considerable amount of work has been done on the various aspects of
forage/ herbage production, harvesting & processing, storage and utilization at
IGFRI, NDRI, IVRI and elsewhere. In this book an attempt has been made to
organize the available pertinent information on feeding of farm animals, like
cattle, buffalo, sheep and goat.
