Listen "Availability and accessibility of fodder in Manipur"
Episode Synopsis
This episode focusses on a research paper examines the availability and accessibility of fodder for dairy farmers in Manipur, India.
The study focused on the dependence of farmers on common property resources like forests and grazing lands for fodder, particularly in the face of limited arable land for fodder cultivation.
The authors found that the majority of farmers relied on these resources to meet the needs of their dairy animals, with the purchase of concentrated feed occurring mostly for crossbred animals.
The paper concludes by recommending the need to equip dairy farmers with knowledge and resources for improved fodder management practices, such as scientific storage techniques and the use of urea treatment and molasses.
