We are doing a global review on traditional forage and fodder indicators used by pastoralists (herders, shepherds, farmers who their livelihood is basically dependent on livestock grazing on rangelands and grasslands, agro-pastoralists etc.). We have already read good papers but very few numbers. If you have any suggestion or recommendation regarding goods paper with this topic, we would be happy to consider that in our database.

Dear Abate wasihun hassen Waseyehon
Thank you for your help and fruitful suggestion.
Best: Abolfazl
my dear friend
The important point I have to tell you is that with traditional animal husbandry and animal nutrition, the climate factor has an impressive effect on the formation of forage storage methods and animal nutrition. In Iran, I saw at least 3 types in Baladeh Noor, Mazandaran, in Kalat Nader, Khorasan, and in the desert pastures of southern Khorasan. Herders use a variety of methods to store fodder. Also, some plants are used to enter the pasture, ie the beginning of the growth of a particular plant species or its flowering shows the time of presence of the animal in the pasture, which is seen in many summer pastures.
Iman Haghiyan Thanks for your fruitful answer. Do you have by any chance papers (in Persian or English) from these regions in which the issues you mentioned are discussed? I need to use references to be able to use it in our global review?
Unfortunately, this type of information is less in the form of articles and remains more in the form of oral information. But I think you can find some useful data in some articles by Ms. Mirdeylami and Mr. Shahraki
