Moong Ka Bhoosa

As soon as the summer comes, the number of sick sheep and goats increases rapidly. In such a situation, the problems of small farmers and cattle herders also increase considerably. In view of this, IVRI scientists have described pulses, especially moong dal, as much better for the health of sheep and goats. It was found that the sheep and goats which continuously eat moong dal straw as fodder are healthier than the animals which eat paddy and wheat straw.

• Lentil straw is rich in proteins and vitamins as compared to wheat and paddy.
• It is helpful in rapid physical growth in sheep and goats.
• Apart from this, the immunity of animals also increases rapidly.
• Milk production capacity also increases. And the straw of pulses should be dry in any case. And there should be no moisture in it either.
