Feed innovations
from Feed IPs in India Reduced feed wastage
– Feed troughs
– Chaff cutters
Improving feed quality/quantity
– Concentrate feed linked with cross
bred cows/ awareness
– Dual purpose crops
– Fodder grasses

Themes for Discussion
– Innovation Platforms to identify (and act
upon) promising solutions to dairy
development
– Linking technical interventions with
market interventions
– Using feed diagnostic and prioritization
tools to target interventions
