Forage plants, grasslands and pastures are a cheap and high-quality source of food for animals. They create a large vegetative mass and are rich in proteins, carbohydrates and other nutrients. The climatic condition in Serbia is favorable for forage production of most important forage crops. The crop structure on arable land is very unfavorable, primarily from the aspect of animal feed production and sustainable land use. The trend of decreasing areas under arable forage plants, meadows and pastures coincides with the trend of decreasing numbers of all types of domestic animals, especially cattle, sheep and pigs. One of the main reasons for the decline in livestock production is the low competitiveness and accumulative nature of this production.enCC0 1.0 Universalhttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Animal husbandryForage productionSoilClimateconferenceObject
