(iii) when restrictions were imposed on pastor-al movements, grazing lands came to be continuously used and the quality of pastures declined.
(iv) This, in turn, created a further shortage of forage for animals and the deterioration of animal stock.

(ii) Their movements were regulated even in the areas where they were allowed entry.
(iii) They needed a permit for entry. The timing of their entry and departure was specified, and the number of days they could spend in the forest was limited.
(iv) Pastoralists could no longer remain in an area even if forage was available. The grass was succulent and the undergrowth in the forest was ample.
(v) They had to move because the forest department permits that had been issued to them, now ruined their lives. The permit specified the periods in which they could be legally within a forest. If they overstayed, they were liable to fines.
Manure and fertilizers ale added to the soil of crop field to increase the fertility of soil and productivity of crop. They overcome the deficiency of nutrients in the soil of the field.

The ever increasing human population and the resultant decrease in agricultural land has compelled human beings to move towards animal husbandry to obtain food from animal sources. The last few decades have seen enormous rise in animal meat production and byproducts. Poultry, fisheries, piggery, catRead more
The ever increasing human population and the resultant decrease in agricultural land has compelled human beings to move towards animal husbandry to obtain food from animal sources. The last few decades have seen enormous rise in animal meat production and byproducts. Poultry, fisheries, piggery, cattle, sheep and goat farming have developed considerably. Through Operation Flood and the Silver Revolution, milk and egg production have registered a record increase.

Why are manures and fertilizers used in fields?
Manure and fertilizers ale added to the soil of crop field to increase the fertility of soil and productivity of crop. They overcome the deficiency of nutrients in the soil of the field.
