important economic and social activities of human culture. Among the
livestock, ruminants have served and will continue to serve a valuable role
in sustainable agricultural systems. They are particularly useful in converting
vast renewable resources from rangeland, pasture and crop residues into
food edible for humans. India has a huge ruminant population comprising
of 210.2 million of cattle, 111.3 million buffaloes, 74.0 million of sheep, 154
million of goats, producing 117.0 million tons of milk and 3.4 million tons of
meat (FAOSTAT 2010). Since 1970, there has been a consistent rise in the
production of milk (4.7%) and meat (3.4%). Growth in livestock output, with
the exception of milk, has primarily been driven by an increase in animal
numbers. Yield growth in meat has been negligible, more so in the case
of sheep and goats. Nutrition remains by far the most critical constraint to
increased animal productivity and more efficient performance across the
developing countries (ILRI 1995) with the perpetual gap between the demand
and supply of digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrients
(TDN); about 35 and 37 per cent (Ramachandra et al. 2005).","2013","published",,,,,"International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics","Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India","141-154","240",,,,,"259-2012",,,,,"TRUE","978-92-9066-555-7",,"Developing a Sweet Sorghum Ethanol Value Chain","Reddy","B V S","","","",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Sweet+sorghum+bagasse+%E2%80%93+An+alternative+feed+resource+for+livestock%22&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
