Winter Fodder
The increased availability of fodder, particularly during the harsh winter months, has led to a reduction in mortality in Am Kasang's yak herd from 10 to 3 per year. Earlier most of the weak animals and calves died due to starvation during the cold winter months when the area was covered with snow. Her herd size has increased from 80 to 120 in the current year (2009). She credits the Department’s Fodder development programme for this positive change.
