Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute (IGFRI)
Project Overview
Indian subcontinent is characterized by tropical monsoon climate having degraded forests and under seasonal protection; grasses grow and produce a typical monsoonal savanna with low productivity levels. In this, the active growth of grasses in grazing land occurs only during monsoon season. The grazing intensity in such type of natural grassland is as high as 12.6 ACU/ha compared with 0.8 ACU/ha in developed countries.
