  • INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE on USE of LOCAL FODDER TREES in MID HILLS of WEST NEPAL Mohan P
    INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE ON USE OF LOCAL FODDER TREES IN MID HILLS OF WEST NEPAL Mohan P. Panthi ABSTRACT Fodder shortage (quality as well as quantity) has been found throughout mid hills of Nepal. The tree fodder is particularly important as a green, nitrogen supplement to poor quality crop residues during the dry season when feeds are scarce. The nutritional values of fodders differ according to species and season therefore farmers prefer different species for different seasons to feed their livestock. The choice or preference of fodder species by farmers reflects their traditional knowledge on nutritional values, palatability, cultivation easiness and seasonal variability of tree fodder in local environment. The paper highlights an indigenous knowledge system that relates to the quality of tree fodder used by farmers in mid hills of Nepal. In total 69 plant species have been recorded as tree fodder and out of them ten best tree fodders have been listed on the basis of preferences and priority by farmers. Information was gathered through a semi structured open questionnaire by interviewing 85 respondents of different age groups of Arghakhanchi district. Though Ficus species was the most abundant among tree fodder, Grewia optiva (locally known as 'phorso') was found the most preferable tree fodder species in the study area. Key words: Tree fodder, folk classification, indigenous knowledge, mid hills. INTRODUCTION Fodder shortage has been a serious problem for livestock holders throughout mid hills of Nepal. It becomes acute during the dry period and winter when livestock is generally under fed by one-third of the required amount (Sherchan and Pradhan, 1997).

    Feb. 28, 2014 For Immediate Release CONTACT: In Atlanta, Deborah Hakes +1 404-420-5124 THE CARTER CENTER REPORTS THAT PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE IN NEPAL HAS IMPROVED; UNDUE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL PARTIES CONTINUES In a report released today, The Carter Center reports that public perception of local governance has improved over the past year. However, mismanagement of local-level budgets and the persistent role of political parties in influencing local development priorities remain, posing a significant challenge to local development and governance. The report also makes a series of recommendations to the government of Nepal, political parties, civil society organizations, and the international public for local elections, governance, and development. “The Carter Center has found that many citizens believe that the quality of local governance has improved in the past year, particularly since the dissolution of the All Party Mechanism in January 2012. Center observers also noted that many bureaucratic mechanisms designed to increase the role of women, marginalized group representatives, and citizens in general appear to have been relatively successful in boosting local-level participation,” said David Hamilton, field office director for The Carter Center in Kathmandu. “However, significant obstacles that have skewed local development priorities and hampered the quality of service delivery remain in place. The voices of disadvantaged group representatives appear to be ignored when final decisions on local priorities are made,” said Hamilton. The report, based on field observations between February and August 2013, found increased levels of public participation in mechanisms such as Ward Citizen Forums and a perception that money was spent on more local governance projects of need in the local area.
