Provision for sufficient forages is sine qua none of livestock development in arid areas of Western Rajasthan. The present economic edge of livestock enterprise can be maintained only if sizeable marginal and submarginal lands are allocated in favour of pastures. Technological feasibility of pasture development have been established beyond any doubt. But it is only a necessary and not a sufficient condition. For, eventual transfer of pasture land management technology, its economic viability must be tested. The results of the present study reveal that every rupee invested for pasture development would on an average generate Re.0.11. The positive net present value, annuity and high internal rate of return ensures that the land allocation in favour of pastures is economically a viable proposition which would cover the entire cost of operation within a relatively short time of six years.
