Provides a comprehensive discussion on the prospects of Himalayan forages. ? Collates findings and data based on more than two decades of research on nutritional quality of different temperate grasses, fodder trees, legumes and non-conventional forage resources. ? Includes information on different forage resources, nutritional quality of forages, niche based nutritive forage species, varietal improvement of different species for nutritionally rich forages, non-conventional forages and modern biotechnological intervention for quality improvement of forages. ? Offers a valuable resource of information on forages for researchers and policymakers ? Include information oriented toward livestock feeding, influencing their health, production and productivity affecting economic status of farmers. ? Presents exhaustive information on forage species along with pictorial presentations. The target audience will be researchers and scientists in public and private institutions (e.g. government, academia, dairy industry), policy planners, animal nutritionists and students. The monograph is relevant for the readers interested in understanding forage quality for livestock feeding and suggest models for quality improvement of forages worldwide, in similar topographies. It is also relevant to the researchers studying forage improvement and biofortification for nutritional enhancement for improving livestock health and productivity. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aFood science 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aNutrition 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aFood Science 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aNutrition 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aFood science. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aFood Science. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aNutrition. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 676 $a633.2 700 $aKatoch$b Rajan$0921518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743253703321 996 $aNutritional quality management of forages in the Himalayan Region$93559591 997 $aUNINA
