Lack of attitude The increasing demand for livestock development /dairy and fattening/

Lack of attention for livestock production at various level

The highest cost of concentrate lead farmers to implement fodder production

Poor extension service Shortage of grazing land leads to focused on production of yielder fodder

Week linkage between extension and research

Shortage of grazing lands leads to implementing high yielder fodder

Shortage of input supply

Poor market oriented livestock production

Poor technical problems

Low level of capacity

The required Knowledge and capacity to realize the vision

The required Knowledge and capacity for fodder production are

• Short and medium term training• Need high yielder fodder varieties• Experience sharing and visiting

The required service to realize the vision

To realize the vision the required services are• Credit services• Indoors farming• Availability of Improves fodder varieties• Promotion service• Seed and seedling provision services• post harvest equipment- chopper, baler

The required enabling environments are

• The implementation of land use• Certification of producers on planting

materials• Clear strategy for fodder production in

irrigated agriculture
