भा.घा.चा.अनुसंधान संस्थान से विकसित चारा फसलों की उन्नत किस्में Animal husbandry is an important part of the livelihood of the farmers. Livestock farming has given a self-operating business for farmers and providing an alternative source of livelihood holding under natural disasters. Based on livestock population, India ranks first in the world. Along with this India's milk production in the first place in the world. However, milk production per animal India is far behind in comparison with several countries. Primarily may be because of lack of adequate forage, its nutritious value and milch animals generally have to rely on crop residues. An estimated lack of green fodder, dried fodder and concentrates is 36%, 40% and 44% respectively. Under this situation improvement in production of various forage crop species, improved variety can be used to ensure availability of green fodder. Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute has developed improved crop varieties of various forage crops with rich in quality. Annual fodder crops (cereals fodder) Corn, millet, oats, and barley cereals fodder crops. These crops is harvested at 50% flowering stage. Cereals crops have higher tonnage of green fodder productivity than legumes. Annual cereals fodder crops can be grown under rain-fed farming system except oats and barley. The protein content of cereals fodder is less, so that it usually mixed...

Green fodder production technique पशुओं की उत्पादन क्षमता उनको दिए जाने वाले आहार पर निर्भर करती है। पशुओं को संतुलित आहार दिया जाय तो पशुओं की उत्पादन क्षमता को निश्चित ही बढ़ाया जा सकता है।  हरे चारे के प्रयोग से पशुओं को आवश्यकतानुसार शरीर को विटामिन ’ए’ एवं अन्य विटामिन मिलते हैं।  इसलिए प्रत्येक पशुपालक को अपने पशुधन से उचित उत्पादन लेने के लिए वर्ष पर्यन्त हरा चारा खिलाने का प्रबन्ध अवश्य करना चाहिए। पशुओं से अधिक दुग्ध उत्पादन लेने के लिए किसान भाईयों को चाहिए कि वे ऐसी बहुवर्षीय हरे चारे की फसले उगाऐं  जिनसे पशुओं को दलहनी एवं गैरदलहनी चारा वर्ष भर उलब्ध हो सकें।  रबी एवं खरीफ के लिए पौष्टिक हरा चारा उगाने की योजना कृषकों को अवश्य बनानी चाहिए।  खरीफ एवं रबी के कुछ पौष्टिक हरे चारे उगाने की विधि इस प्रकार हैंः 1. लोबिया चारा फसल उगाने की तकनीक इसका चारा अत्यन्त पौष्टिक है जिसमें 17 से 18 प्रतिशत प्रोटीन पाई जाती है।  कैल्शियम तथा फास्फोरस पर्याप्त मात्रा में होता है।  यह अकेले अथवा गैल दलहनी फसलों जैसे ज्वार या मक्का के साथ बोई जाती है।  लोबिया चारे की फसल के लि‍ए भूमि व भूमि की तैयारीः  इसकी खेती दोमट या बलुई और हल्की काली मिट्टी में की जाती है।  भूमि का जल निकास अच्छ होना चाहिए।  एक जुताई मिट्टी पलटने वाले हल से तथा 2-3...

बुंदेल गिनी -2: चारा फसल की एक उन्‍नत किस्म The forage crops are grown in 4.8 % of the total cultivated land in India to feed 15% of the world’s livestock population. In present situation the country is facing a net deficit of 35.6% green fodder, 10.95% dry fodder and 44% concentrate feed mixture. Among all fodder grasses, guinea grass is most preferred by farmers for cultivation. A high yielding and nutritious guinea grass variety BG-2 (JHGG 04-1) was developed through selection. The variety has exhibited average potential to produced 70-90 t/ha green fodder with 7.8 % crude protein content in trials in rainfed condition, however it has potential to yield upto 150 t/ha green fodder under irrigated condition. The variety has shown adaptability to rainfed condition and resistance to drought under semi arid condition.  Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) belongs to the grass family Gramineae/ Poaceae. As a perennial crop, it is suitable for cultivation in humid, tropical and sub tropical areas. It grows well on a wide range of soils and climate. Guinea grass is also tolerant to the light stress. It has fast growing habit, quick regeneration, good herbage quality and well responsive to fertilizer and irrigation. Being a perennial grass, green fodder yield ranges from 80 to 100 t/ha/year and...

पूर्वी भारत में चारा उत्पादन और पशुधन आहार प्रबंधन Feed and fodder production for livestock feeding is an important aspect for the sustainability of the system because agriculture and animal husbandry are complementary and not competitive to each other. The feed resources are by and large the crop residues, fodder, agro by-products and some indigenous feeds. The farmers feed their livestock with available feed resources, which are not balanced in terms of protein and energy to meet the nutrient requirement leading to poor performance. Therefore, it is felt as need of the hour to explore the possibility of improved fodder production for feeding to livestock in better way. Livestock nutrition and some of the encouraging fodder production system and their feeding practices are discussed below for proper management and sustainability of the production system.  Livestock Nutrition Shortage of concentrate feed (84%) and green fodder (88%), low land holding, negligible area under fodder cultivation and poor husbandry practices with imbalance feeding in terms of total dry matter and nutrients intake are considered to be the main reasons for less production in the eastern region of India. Feeding animals as per the requirement and avoiding wastage is the key in exploiting the production potential of livestock for economic viability and sustainability since feed costs are the...

ग्रामीण महिलाओं के सशक्तिकरण के लिए एक उपकरण- दीर्घकालिक डेयरी खेती Women form the backbone of agriculture, comprising the majority of agricultural labourers in India. Women play a significant and crucial role in agriculture and animal husbandry development. Female agricultural labourers are still among the poorest sections of Indian society.  Dairy a source of income and employment of rural women The dairying has been considered as a potential means of alleviating large scale unemployment, especially in rural areas. Women play a key role in animal, farm and home management. Successful dairy husbandry enterprise not only improves the socio-economic status of rural women, but also assures a sustained and assured means of income to supplement their income from the main enterprise. The major activities involved in dairy farming include collection of fodder/cultivation of fodder, grazing the animals, feeding & watering, cleaning the animals and shed, milking and marketing of milk. T he operations are flexible and staggered depending upon the convenience of the family members and need not necessarily be attended foregoing wage employment opportunities.  Why dairy farming is preferred This activity does not require heavy capital investment as the farmers can start with the available non-descript cows or purchase cows easily in local markets.  The local cows are hardy and can be maintained even by landless by procuring crop residues.  Dairy...
