INTRODUCTION

India possesses an enormous cattle (180 million) and buffalo (61 million)
population but the annual milk production has reached only about 30 million
tones. The low milk production is primarily during to the poor potential of the
animal and the lack of adequate nutrition. For the fullest exploitation of their
genetic potentialities, better feeding must go hand in hand with better breeding.

The principal feed resources for animal consumption in the country are crop
residues like straws of wheat, rice and other cereals and stovers which are very
poor in feed value. Even these ate in short supply. These are supplemented to
some extent by relatively better quality fodders like cultivated leguminous and non
leguminous fodder grasses and concentrates. The latter are formulated largely
from agro-industrial by-product and forest wastes and small quantities of low-
grade cereals with the present stock of feed and fodder resources available in the
country, it is well impossible to meet the nutrient requirements of even the
present day low-producing cattle and buffaloes such a situation is bound to
aggravate difficulties in the feeding of better producing livestock such as cross
bred lows in exploiting their full genetic potentiality for early growth, better
reproduction and higher milk production.

Livestock in the country, therefore, suffer widely from insufficient supply of

nutrients. The unconventional agro-industrial by products and forest wastes may
find a greater use as livestock feeds in coming years.

The nutritive value of tropical feeds and fodder is lower than those grown in
temperate region. This situation does not allow cows to consume maximum
amount feeds, nor to get feeds of minimum allowable digestability. It is not
possible to anticipate any remarkable improvement in the feed situation in the
near future and also in the supply of high digestible ingredients like warse grains.

The digestability of feed for meeting nutrient requirements of the cattle must bear
relation to its intake capacity.

In order that a cow with high milk yielding potential, which this country is looking
forward to have in large numbers, produce milk to their inherited capacity, it will
be necessary to provide adequate and balanced nutrition that should include high
quality fodder and concentrates, mostly originating from ago industrial by
products and wastes. The poor quality fodders like straws and stovers when
chopped and fortified with urea, molasses and mineral mixture, improve in
nutritive value and palatability. Such practice should be followed to maximize the
utilization of valuable fodder resources. It is also necessary to preserve good
quality forage as hay or silage to provide for feed during the lean periods. With the
availability of food quality fodder and some feed concentrate to supplement the
ration in meeting the various nutrient requirements, the milk production will
certainly go higher even with the existing cattle and buffalo population.
