Kachchh is a district of Gujarat state, located in the western part of India well known for its natural wetlands. Livestock rearing is the main occupation and remains the only source of cash revenue for subsistence farms, especially during drought periods in the Kachchh arid ecosystem. It also provides insurance in case of crop failure. Hence, the region has a livestock population larger than the human population, which is a unique feature of the region. Thus, there is an opportunity to enhance the livestock productivity by supplying an adequate quantity of fodder, particularly during lean or drought period. A fodder bank is one of the way to solve the fodder scarcity during lean or drought periods in order to prevent migration, distress sales and starvation of livestock. Not Available |
