Abstract

India is basically an agrarian country with large livestock population making dairy and livestock industry an important subsidiary occupation of farmers. It contributes to the economy of the country by providing milk, meat and wool. India has recently emerged as largest producer of milk in the world but livestock productivity is very low as compared to the developed countries. Low productivity of the animals is ascribed chiefly due to inadequate supply of nutrients. Both quantitatively and qualitatively, there exists a huge gap in availability and supply of feed nutrients which is further compounded during lean and scarcity period (Singh and Majumdar, 1992). Poor supply of nutrients to livestock during scarcity period is a matter of concern. So, there is urgent need for preservation of nutrients from forages including fodder tree leaves available during the flush period for feeding livestock during lean period (Mahanta and Pauchauri, 2005). Successful animal production requires an adequate supply of nutrients throughout the year. The nutrients from forages can be preserved either as silage, hay or high temperature dehydration. Forage can be profitably preserved either as silage or hay for providing nutrients during scarcity.

Abstract

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) belonging to Class Basidiomycetes and Family Agaricaceae is popularly known as ‘dhingri’ in India and grows naturally in the temperate and tropical forests on dead and decaying wooden logs or sometimes on dying trunks of deciduous or coniferous woods. It may also grow on decaying organic matter. The fruit bodies of this mushroom are distinctly shell or spatula shaped with different shades of white, cream, grey, yellow, pink or light brown depending upon the species. It is one of the most suitable fungal organisms for producing protein rich food from various agro-wastes or forest wastes without composting. Cultivation of different varieties of oyster mushroom was initiated in India in the early sixties. Commercial cultivation began in mid-seventies.
