THE ANIMALS NEED FODDER
FOR TWO REASONS –

• 1) physical growth

• 2) Productivity or for ability to work.

• All the fodder given to the animals may

not be digested. As per the type of fodder
and its ingredients, its digestible contents
differ.
 DIFFERENT
FODDER
MAKING
TECHNIQUES
 HYDROPONIC FODDER: -
• Use of low cost technique: - Installing racks for hydroponics fodder
production. Create shelves as needed. Use drip irrigation for watering. Use
shade net for keeping the rack in shade.
• Production process: - For fodder creation, soak corn in water for 24
hours every day. Then it is covered in a gunny bag for 36 hours for
germination. This germinated corn is spread in the trays. These trays are
kept in the rack. This tray has 6 to 7 small holes at the bottom. So that
the excess water in the tray will be drained.
• This is how it is produced: - In a tray of 1 X 1.5 foot approximately
450 to 500 gms of germinated corn can be spread evenly. It gives
approximately 5 kg production in nine days. 2 kg germinated corn is
spread in a big tray of 3 X 2 feet size. We can get production up to 20
kgs from it. From total production, up to 30.
 • Dietitians have created animal
feed by using urea, molasses, and
wheat bran. It is called as uromeal.
To make this- urea, molasses
UROMEAL:- should be added to water and it
should be boiled to 100° Celsius in
a pan and then it should be mixed
with wheat bran.
LICK – LIQUID FEED:-

• Lick for animals can be created by using

urea, molasses, mineral salts, salt, and
vitamins. Mix 2.5 kg urea, 1 kg and 2 kg
minerals salts in approximately 2.5 litres
of water and create a solution. Mix this
solution with a thick solution of molasses
or jaggery. And add 15 gm vitamin ‘A’ and
‘D’ to it. A lick created using this method
should be kept in the animals shed itself.
 SELECT BEST
FODDER FOR ANIMAL
IN SURROUNDINGS:-
1.OATS-
2.SORHUM-
3.BERSEEM
Oats are sometimes grazed, but the main use is for hay and silage,
fulfilling an important role as feed for livestock operations in the
Northern Great Plains of North America. Oats can be intercropped
for silage and autumn grazing, and used as fodder for swath
grazing.

Forage sorghum is a valuable fodder: it is relished by ruminants, it

is outstandingly drought resistant and grows where maize is not
able to grow because of high temperatures or dry conditions.
Forage sorghum can be grazed (young or as deferred fodder), cut
fresh, made into hay or ensiled (Pedersen et al., 2000).

Berseem is one of the most important fodder crops and has been
rightly described as the king of fodders. It is highly esteemed
fodder which has a special place in animal husbandry
programmes throughout the country.
 • •Introduction:- Cattle need to be
provided with dry fodder along with
green fodder. If it is not possible to
provide sufficient green fodder to the
cattle in summer, it is useful to make chaff

ADVANTAGES OF from the available dry fodder and

process it, it prevents wastage of the
fodder and increases digestibility and
GIVING quality. In dairy farming/ animal
husbandry business, most of the
PARTICULAR expenses are done for animal feed. So, it
is very important for the dairy farmers to

TYPE OF decrease the expenses on the fodder and

feed. For that processing the low-quality
fodder in low cost and using it for
FODDER feeding the animals is useful. It decreases
the expenses on animal feed and
increases the profits of dairy farmer.
 • Usefulness of the fodder can be
increased by 10 to 15%.

• By making chaff of green fodder, green

corn etc. the volume of the fodder
decreases. So, the fodder can be used
properly. It avoids wastage of feed. Makes

BENEFITS OF the storage easy. The expenditure for that

decreases.
PROCESSING THE • Toxicity and unwanted ingredients of
fodder can be decreased.
FODDER: -
• Fodder can be harvested at the right time
and can be dried properly and stored.

• The expenditure on storage and

transport can be decreased. 6. Shelf life /
durability can increase.
CARRY OUT PROCEDURE FOR
P REPA RI N G F ODDER: -
• 1.In cold weather, more energy is required to control the body temperature.

• 2.For fulfilling the energy demand, feed the cattle with high energy fodder and feed.

• 3.This need can be fulfilled by increasing quantity of animal feed by 0.5 to 1 kg per animal, too.

• 4.In the beginning of winter, green fodder is abundantly available and then day by day availability of green fodder decreases, we can convert the excess fodder into
silage & store it for future use.

• 5.Considering 15 kg silage for one animal, and the number of days for which the fodder needs to be stored, plan to prepare silage.

• 6.To prepare silage, corn fodder in a flowering stage, should be cut to chaff and pressed and kept in air tight condition.

• 7. The paddy, wheat straws, soybean and Bengal gram bran should be treated with urea and jaggery to increase the nutritional value of this low-quality fodder. For
that, 100 kg fodder should be treated with 3 kg urea, 1 kg jaggery, 1 kg salt and 20 liter of water and should be kept in air tight condition for 21 days and then
used.

• 8.Sugarcane leaves are used as animal feed, which has high percentage of oxalate. Oxalate cannot be digested by animals. When it is being thrown out of body, it
creates a compound called as ‘calcium oxalate’ and it also takes out calcium along with it. To avoid it, one kg quick lime sh ould be added to water and kept
overnight and the lime water created should be sprayed on the sugar cane leaves and it should be fed to the cattle after 24 h ours. For preparing silage, buy a bag
with 5 feet diameter and 4 feet height and a plastic role and prepare silage in it. First tie one end of the plastic role fir mly. Cut a three-meter role and keep it in the
bag. Add fodder chaff and some mineral mixture to it and press it well. Tie the other end of plastic role again. Make it air tight and seal the bag by stitching.The
silage fulfils demand of fodder for next four months.

OF FODDER
IMPORTANCE OF MANTAINING RECORD AND COSTING
OF FODDER:-

• The cost records are used to determine the actual cost of goods or
services, which is crucial for pricing decisions, cost control, and
profitability analysis.

• Cost Records are records relating to the utilization of various

resources .

• Help in decision making and guiding for better resource

management.
