In dry areas, about 60 per cent of land is available for grazing consisting of permanent pasture lands, forest
lands, fallow and cultivated wastelands. Thus, huge area fall under this category, this is not being scientifically
managed. Sustainability of these lands is a serious concern for livestock production. Besides, productivity of
animals in these areas entirely depends upon natural fodder resources. Therefore, an integration of improved
fodder production systems on these lands is a hard pressing need. Hence, some rain-fed fodder based
technologies have been suggested to overcome this problem, which may contribute to enhance and sustain the
livelihood and fodder security in dry areas of the country. Moreover, silvi-pasture system could generate
employment of 120 man days/ ha/year. Thus, available 50 million hectare of land can provide job to 20 million
people annually in the country, additionally it helps in sorting out the fodder crunch during lean period
