fodder quality traits. The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among
the various half sib families for all the traits. The experimental results revealed that out of 40
families, ten families viz., SI-15, SO-3, HA-2, HA-3, HA-4, SO-7, SH-7, SO-4, SI-6 and SI-14
were found superior on the basis of overall mean performance for all quantitative and
qualitative traits under study. Hence, these half sib families can be used in further breeding …
