英文摘要	The aim of the study was to record the customary methods of storing fodder that farmers in India's hot and dry regions have used. In addition to using a questionnaire, key informant interview schedules, and secondary sources to gather data on fodder storage systems, the study employed a cross-sectional survey approach to obtain primary data from pastoral families. Karai and Pachawa are the traditional fodder storage systems being used in the hot arid zone to store fodder for use in drought years. These are low cost and durable fodder storage systems made with locally available materials using indigenous knowledge since time immemorial. Karai is made in the conical shape and especially used for storing small fodder cuttings. However, Pachawa is made in circular or square or rectangular and used for storing fodder as it is (uncut). These traditional systems are exceptionally good to store the dry fodder for a longer period (1-10 years) with minimal deterioration in fodder quality.
