Summary
Livestock acts as a bank to meet their daily needs, but the scarcity of quality forage in rainfed agriculture is a limiting factor for livestock. A common practice is to use wheat straw and sorghum stalks to feed the livestock during lean period in rainfed areas of Pakistan. Fodders are the crops that are grown and preserved in the form of silage or hay and fed to animals in a scarcity period when there is shortage of green fodder.
