'pastures made up of these grasses can support three times more cattle, compared to typical tropical pastures today.The animals also gain weight twice as quickly'

Good day friends..I knew Brachiaria Grass a.k.a Congo Grass was high in protein but i didnt know it was this good.
Read this excerpt from an article i recently found titled : 'To Save The Planet, Give Cows Better Pasture'
( nb. i have precious root splits of this grass for sale..the attached pics are MINE )

...basically, the more slowly cattle grow, or the less milk they give, the greater their greenhouse gas emissions per pound of beef or milk. And in many parts of the world, cattle grow very slowly, because they're grazing on sparse and poorly maintained pastures.

The impact is astounding. Producing a pound of beef in East Africa probably causes a hundred times more global warming than the same product from a feedlot in the United States.

The good news, Searchinger says, is that "there are enormous opportunities to improve efficiency" at a very modest cost.

Chief among those opportunities: faster-growing, more nutritious grasses like the ones that McCloskey wants to establish in Puerto Rico. Those grasses are part of a botanical family known by the scientific name brachiaria that came originally from eastern Africa. Researchers at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), based in Colombia, identified specific varieties that are best for cattle grazing..

According to Michael Peters, who leads CIAT's research on tropical grazing, pastures made up of these grasses can support three times more cattle, compared to typical tropical pastures today. The animals also gain weight twice as quickly. It translates into a six-fold increase in production per acre, and a dramatic cut in greenhouse emissions.[/b]

From the above friends its very clear that brachiaria grass is a must for any serious cattle/goat/sheep/rabbit/grasscutter farmer because it simply makes economic sense. It has so many advantages..

Those into cattle fattening need it...Dairy people need it..
It is drought resistant.
Once you plant it, it can last a decade with simple care.
It spreads (see pic) and is good for the soil
When u plant it you are helping the planet..(american & european girls will love you) grin
A must have for those into cattle fattening

I didnt know all these before.. now i really appreciate this beautiful grass.

..My friends..not every green grass is the same..I saw it myself during last dry season ..the whole field was brown and dead but the brachiaria side was still green ..still alive..still surviving despite aggressive grazing by the cows. Right now i am removing naturally occuring grass on my pasture to plant brachiaria. Its quite annoying how the other grasses are trying to drag space with the brachiaria now that rains have come. Where were they when i needed them most? One of them even try dey resemble am so i wont uproot it

Anyway i have the seeds available for sale..take full advantage. For those that enquired before..now that lockdown is eased i can send this vital agro product to you.
