For those who keep livestock the scarcity of green fodder is at its peak right now.Brachiaria grass is a highly nutritious source of feed for animals. Its of African origin yet 'travelled out' for several years and is now back . (Remember Agric Minister Audu Ogbeh's comments on Importing grass years back?) Below are some interesting facts about it:

Brachiaria grass

1. It looks like ordinary napier/elephant grass from a distance. But on a closer look you’ll see that is has thicker leaves and does not have scratching and cutting hairs like Elephant grass. Brachiaria also produces seeds unlike Napier grass, and the seeds do not lose their hybrid vigor, meaning that you can plant the seeds and get good results.

2. It originates from Africa, but has been improved through scientific methods in South America into a grass with better yield and pest resistance.

3. It has more than 15% crude protein on a dry matter basis. It can reach 20% with good management.

4. It grows fast with little amount of water producing 18 to 20 tonnes of green forage per acre per harvest.

5. It is.more.drought-tolerant than Elephant grass.

6. Unlike Elephant grass, Brachiaria grass does not take up an excessive amount of nutrients from the soil. this means It will perform better even when planted in poor soils.

7. Napier/Elephant grass is vulnerable to diseases like Napier stunt and Napier smut diseases. Brachiaria is resistant to these diseases.

8. Some common names for Brachiaria are 'Congo Grass' or 'Signal Grass'

9. With Elephant grass, the animals can’t graze on it because growth after trampling is poor. This is not so with Brachiaria. It regrows fast after grazing and save you time of cutting and carrying the grass to the animals. However, you should not over-graze it.

10. Brachiaria can be propagated by seeds, root splits or stems. Mulato Brachiaria is best propagated by seeds, though it can also be planted from vegetative material. If you want to plant large area of land, it is better to use seeds. You’ll need 2.5-3kgs seeds per acre.

11. Where to buy: You can buy the seeds from Healing Field Farms 07063463851. We were blessed with some of the precious seed when we started our dairy farm

12. Once the grass is established, you can harvest it every 3-4 weeks, when the nutrient content is highest.

We sell seed and shoot splits..pls call for enquiries

What are the livestock that can feed on this grass. Can it be used for rabbit?

Yes of course rabbits can eat it. The high protein in brachiaria will see the rabbits looking robust.
Brachiaria is useful to Cattle, Sheep, Goat, pig, grasscutter,rabbit and even chicken farmers.

There must be some other animals i didnt mention..but yes those are the main ones

@Op, pls post where u have planted this grass.

Sorry guys i did not notice your concerns. Please rest assured i am not a scammer or spammer. Even in this dry season i have been planting more of brachiaria both via root splits and seed harvested late last year.
The very first pic above is my grass planted by me in my yard.

Sometimes pics dey fall hand ..u will assume u have many but you dont.

planting..can you notice the feathery green leaves? My pics..

The Brachiaria i transplanted last year has helped me feed my cows in this dry season. It is a very tough and quick spreading grass even though the cows aggressively grazed on it its stub cannot be uprooted and its core remains green. Once rain come it starts to grow quickly again.

Once you establish even a plot or two of Brachiaria then you can expand with root splits.

This dry season with the help of some irrigation i was able to establish some new areas because what i planted last year was insufficient. I used both seed and root splits.

Thanks for the pics. Where did u get the seeds?

FarmTech:
Thanks for the pics. Where did u get the seeds?

You're welcome i got them at a Dairy enhancement programme in Oyo state.
Anyone involved in livestock rearing should take advantage of this opportunity because these seeds are scarce, supply is limited and the grass is good!

Why havent you gotten yours livestock farmers? Still available

Buying brachiaria grass and establishing pastures is the best decision you will take as a livestock farmer..

New supply of Brachiaria seeds from South Africa just arrived good people..treated and pre-shelled.

Brachiaria root splits also available for fast pasture establishment (remember rains are here now)...i call it pasture in a ghana must go..this is faster than seed and surer..but a bit more labour intensive.

call now you won't regret planting this wonderful grass

spinna:
Egungun Newway2 no go enter express o..you know it is wrong and you went ahead to do the same. You are spoiling your own business name in my opinion

So sorry about this

Ugh, I assure you that it’s almost impossible to get rid of those on your own. There is a higher probability that you will remove the bacteria for a certain amount of time, but it will inevitably come back. That’s why I think that the best solution for your garden’s health is to go see a company like floydstreeservicebakersfield.com and let them do their job. It’s costly, but the level of professionalism is simply impressive. You will end up with an amazing and healthy garden, protected from any kind of diseases. That’s a very good thing, don’t you think so?

September is the deadline set by Nigerian govs for the enforcement of the ban on open grazing..

Other livestock farmers all over the country are getting theirs.. We have happy customers from Oyo,Jos, taraba, kano, abuja, port harcourt.. no issues..

the rains are going order now..seeds and suckers available 07063463851
