ANUP KUMAR, P.K2019-07-052019-07-052006http://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810112275Livestock is an important segment of agricultural sector in India and is kept mainly by the small landholders and the landless people that constitute major bulk of the rural population. In India as well as in most of the developing countries cereal and millet crop residues are the major feed sources for dairy cattle. These crop residues are low in nitrogen as well as energy content. The high fibre and lignin content in these crop residues makes their intake and digestibility low.Thesis
