| Abstract: | Fuhadaha, the traditional dry fodder
storage structure being used in the Jammu region has its origin from Dogri language, the local dialect. It is
a low cost and durable dry fodder storage structure constructed since the time
immemorial using the locally available material. It holds wide potential to
store dry fodder for many years. Slight modifications have occurred from time
to time in the construction technology. But now days, there is a serious threat
to the further transfer of this structure to the succeeding generations. This
documentation of construction technology of Fuhadaha
will surely help to preserve the fast disappearing constituent component of
livestock raising in Jammu and Kashmir. This technology can be slightly
modified and adapted to various situations. Here, cost-effectiveness of Fuhadaha has also been discussed. |
