Silage making – An alternative to green fodder during drought

Dairy is the major enterprise of the village Nirmal Pimpri and it supported farmers economic. Dairy management major constraint is availability of green fodder during summer. Due to water scarcity after Feb- March green fodder is not available in the village. After month of March farmers have been purchased green fodders like maize, lucern from neighboring villages. It is expensive but farmers have no alternative. KVK has made intervention under NICRA activity by introducing the low cost silage making technology in the village during Feb- March.

Total ten units has established in the village under the project. Besides technology, KVK also supplied plastic paper to the farmers for silage preparation.
