Abstract

As the expansion of arable land reduces natural pastures and their productivity, the need to use new technologies in the production of fodder crops has arisen. The production of fodder plants is the most important and most expensive input in sustainable livestock breeding. The main limitations in the production of green fodder are the unavailability of land for fodder, greater need for labor, longer growing time. Also, the unavailability of fodder of the same quality throughout the year, uncertain rainfall, the need for manure and lack of water are one of the limiting factors for the development of fodder plant production.The application of new technologies in the production of fodder plants is considered a necessary approach that can ensure stable production. Seed technology, system approach, hi-tech farming, and mechanization in fodder production are the four categories under which improved fodder production techniques can be categorized. Technological innovations in preparation hay and silage, including quality-enhancing additives, balaging, haylage preservation, and the creation of dehydrated goods like pellets and cubes, are examples of improved preservation techniques.
