Feed & Fodder Development
Sub-Mission on Feed & Fodder Development
The Sub-Mission on Feed and Fodder Development under the National Livestock Mission (NLM) is designed to strengthen the fodder value chain in the country. A major challenge in the livestock sector is the scarcity of quality feed and fodder.
This initiative aims to create rural entrepreneurs by providing capital subsidies for setting up modern fodder production and processing units. This includes support for establishing fodder block/bale making units and silage making units, which are crucial for ensuring a year-round supply of nutritious fodder for livestock.

Key Objectives of the Sub-Mission
The mission focuses on creating a sustainable ecosystem for feed and fodder production and management.
Enhance the availability of certified fodder seed and establish a robust fodder seed chain.
Encourage entrepreneurs to establish fodder block/bale/silage making units for value addition.
Promote the cultivation of fodder on common lands, non-forest lands, and fallow lands.
Establish a quality control mechanism for fodder to ensure better livestock health and productivity.
Strengthen post-harvest management and develop a market for fodder to ensure better returns for farmers.
Create opportunities for rural entrepreneurs and generate employment in the fodder sector.
