R. aNutritive value of the available pasture in semi-arid areas of Rajasthan. c1973 aThe natural pasture studied in the semiarid Malpura area of Rajasthan was mainly of pala (Ziziphus nummularia) and anjan (Cenchrus ciliaris). Digestibility of cut forage was estimated in Malpura rams given it throughout the year. Protein content ranged from 4.3 to 10.3%, below 7% for more than half the time.
