India supports about 20 percent of the world's livestock with only 2.3 per cent of the world's geographical area. The livestock sector contributes 32 % of the agricultural output, which is 27 % of the total gross domestic product (GDP). In dairy farming feed and fodder plays an important role in exploiting the genetic potential of the animals and success of dairy industry largely depends on supply of nutritious green forages and concentrates. The present feed and forage resources of the country can meet the demand of only 47 % of total livestock population. At present about 9 million ha of the country's total cropped area is under forage crops and there is little possibility for its further expansion due to already existing pressure on agricultural land for food and cash crops. Sorghum {Sorghum bicolor} is one of the important forage crops, has quick growth, high yielding ability and can be fed in the form of silage and hay.Moreover, intensive crop cultivation requires the use ofchemical fertilizer, but fertilizers are not only in short supply but also expensive. Therefore, the current trend is to explore the possibility of supplementing chemical fertilizer with organic ones.
