Provides a comprehensive discussion on the prospects of Himalayan forages. Collates findings and data based on more than two decades of research on nutritional quality of different temperate grasses, fodder trees, legumes and non-conventional forage resources. Includes information on different forage resources, nutritional quality of forages, niche based nutritive forage species, varietal improvement of different species for nutritionally rich forages, non-conventional forages and modern biotechnological intervention for quality improvement of forages. Offers a valuable resource of information on forages for researchers and policymakers Include information oriented toward livestock feeding, influencing their health, production and productivity affecting economic status of farmers. Presents exhaustive information on forage species along with pictorial presentations. The target audience will be researchers and scientists in public and private institutions (e.g. government, academia, dairy industry), policy planners, animal nutritionists and students. The monograph is relevant for the readers interested in understanding forage quality for livestock feeding and suggest models for quality improvement of forages worldwide, in similar topographies. It is also relevant to the researchers studying forage improvement and biofortification for nutritional enhancement for improving livestock health and productivity. 001445988 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 21, 2022). 001445988 650_0 $$aForage plants$$zHimalaya Mountains Region. 001445988 650_0 $$aForage plants$$xBreeding$$zHimalaya Mountains Region. 001445988 650_0 $$aForage plants$$xHarvesting$$zHimalaya Mountains Region. 001445988 650_6 $$aPlantes fourragères$$zHimālaya. 001445988 650_6 $$aPlantes fourragères$$xRécolte$$zHimālaya. 001445988 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445988 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKatoch, Rajan.$$tNutritional Quality Management of Forages in the Himalayan Region.$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
