One of the essential attributes of a good fodder is its quality. The nutri- tional values of forage crops and gras- ses have been discussed in detail by Gazi (1962).

The straw analysis of paddy and cholam revealed that cholam straw is more nutritious in that it contains lesser quantity of crude fibre and more of protein.
