Rasuwa district is located at an elevation of 600-7254 mas/ and has climatic diversity from
river basin to High Mountain. There are many apple orchards through out the district.
Quantitative and qualitative shortage of feed and forage for migratory and sedentary
livestock during winter month has been impeding livestock production. Production of exotic
temperate pasture species under apple orchard will support the winter feed and forage for
livestock The experiment was conducted under apple orchard condition at an elevation of
1960 mas[ Syaphry VDC of Rasuwa district. The treatment· were Cocks foot (Dactylis
glomerata), White clover (Trifolium repens), Ryegrass (Lolium Pereme), Native grasses and
combination. There was significant difference (P<O.OOJ) between different treatment group
for DM Production (3. 05±0. 68 tlha) and Rye grass sows least DM production (0. 05±0.45
tlha).
