Abstract
A survey of Rakh Goharwala (Thai) was conducted in September, 2000. Eleusine flagellifera was the key grass species. 26.37% and 16 88% ground was covered by grasses/herbs and shrubs, respectively while 56.75% was uncovered. Carrying capacity was found to be 1.003 AU/ha/yr and shrubs were the major contributors of forage. The Rakh presented miserable condition of grasses and it is strongly recommended that rotational system to be followed which promotes forage vigour by avoiding repeated and continuous grazing of one block year after year.
