Abstract
Sorghum is grown in different parts of our country during summer and kharif as a grain or fodder crop. During recent years several varieties have been introduced/evolved for fodder purposes (Rio, PC-6, PC-1, S-136, IS 4776 etc.) but very limited information is available about their feeding on animal production value (of these fodders). Since no information is available regarding the comparative feeding value of Rio fodder for cattle and buffaloes, the present experiment was taken up to evaluate sorghum (Rio) fodder based ration for Tharparkar cattle and Murrah buffaloes of first lactation.
