Abstract

Crop scientists and livestock nutrition are collaboratively exploring opportunities and limitations for improving crop residue quantity and fodder quality at source through multidimensional crop improvement. Selecting varieties with superior grain and straw traits could address the needs of humans for food and livestock for fodder.
