A bundle of jowar straw in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, now sells for Rs 50 as drought hits the region. Last year's stored dry fodder is running out, and dry weather is forecast across Marathwada districts including Jalna, Beed, Latur, Dharashiv, Nanded and Parbhani.
Dry fodder scarcity raises feed costs for small livestock keepers, who may sell animals and reduce milk output later. Jowar straw is the region's main dry fodder, so its price rise pressures local feed demand and feed input costs.
