Abstract
Major pulses grown in north eastern transition and north eastern dry zone, the two agro-climatic zones of North Karnataka are bengal gram (Cicer arietinum), black gram {Vigna mungo), green gram (Vigna radiata) and red gram (Cajanus cajan) . The byproducts, mainly the straws and chunnies of these pulses are not efficiently used for livestock feeding, particularly for small ruminants. Chunnies of all these pulses and only the straw of red gram are being regularly used for large ruminants feeding. The straws of rest of the pulses are often burnt or ploughed back into the soil.
