Among various activities undertaken in selected villages of Bidar district under this project, “Dry Fodder Enrichment in Dairy Farming” is considered as most important for the farmers since this district has shortage of fodder during summer season for the dairy animals. Hence, efforts are made to create awareness and disseminate scientific information about enrichment of dry fodder through urea treatment.
