crops. At present, approximately 23 Kg. of fodder per animal is available against the
requirement of 40 Kg. The gap between demand and supply is likely to widen further due to
increased pressure as a result of growing more foodgrains, oilseeds and commercial crops.
Therefore, research work will be carried out to improve the genetic potential of fodder crops.
The suitable varieties of fodder crops will be evolved by Punjab Agricultureal University,
Ludhiana and new seeds of high yielding fodder varieties produced as a result of research
work will be distributed among farmers to increase the green fodder production in the State.
