Abstract: Pasture, comprising mainly grasses with interspersed legumes and forbs, serves as a vital resource for cattle nutrition. However, improper management practices, such as overgrazing and traditional methods like burning, have led to the degradation of pasturelands in Nepal. This article delves into the challenges faced in pasture utilization and management in Nepal, examining factors affecting utilization, grazing management strategies, and the socio-economic and environmental implications. By analyzing existing literature and studies, the article aims to highlight the need for sustainable pasture management practices to enhance livestock productivity, preserve biodiversity, and support rural livelihoods. Moreover, it explores the significance of factors like rotational grazing systems, weed control, fertilization, and stocking rates in improving pasture quality and utilization efficiency. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the interdependence of pasture utilization and management, address the challenges faced in Nepal’s pastoral ecosystems.
