पशुधन पोषण में गैर-पारंपरिक चारा संसाधनों के महत्व का दोहन Livestock farming plays a crucial role in global food security and rural livelihoods. However, ensuring the adequate nutrition of livestock has always been a significant challenge, especially with the rising demand for animal products. Specific feeding system methods created in temperate climates might not be totally suitable for the requirements of growing tropical nations. The fact that feeding systems designed for temperate climates are sometimes impractical and irrelevant in tropical climates is a major barrier to their adoption. The world's supply and demand for conventional feed resources for livestock feeding are significantly out of balance. Increasing the availability of conventional feed resources for the various livestock production and management systems is crucial to managing this supply and demand issue. In this context, non-conventional feed resources have gained importance as alternative sources of nutrition for livestock. These resources offer a sustainable solution to alleviate pressure on traditional feed sources while promoting efficient production systems.
