  1. Livestock in my locality are mainly fed with green fodder such as maize, berseem, Napier grass and seasonal vegetables. In dry seasons, wheat and rice straw are the primary feed. To improve nutrition, farmers mix oil cakes, pulse husk, jaggery, salt and mineral mixtures with dry fodder. This combination of green and dry fodder with supplements ensures proper digestion, milk production and overall animal health throughout the year.
