Volume : II, Issue : VIII, September - 2012 Feed and Fodder Resources for Nomadic Gujjars Livestock -Quantitative and Qualitative aspects Virender Koundal Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The livestock sector of the country has a crucial role in the national economy.
But generally, the Indian cattle are considered to be of poor quality, uneconomical and a
burden on land. In this paper we have studied the quality and quantity of feed and fodder
in the pasture which is available to Gujjars livestock. Gujjars are those who are rearing
livestock from centuries in the Himalayan region. For them, pastures are the major feed
resources for this type of activity. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Virender Koundal, (2012). Feed and Fodder Resources for Nomadic Gujjars Livestock -Quantitative and Qualitative aspects.
