The stock of fodder in Maharashtra`s Marathwada region, where rainfall has been scanty, will last till November, said Divisional Commissioner Madhukar Rajeardad on Wednesday. Fodder, especially dried hay or straw, is usually the byproduct of agriculture.

The region, which comprises Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed, Hingoli, Osmanabad, Latur, Nanded and Parbhani districts, received only 382.3 mm of rainfall between June and August against the average expected rainfall of 513.5 mm. That`s about 75 per cent.
