'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.

For those who keep livestock the scarcity of quality green fodder is a big issue. Especially for those who rear cows, goats and sheep. Brachiaria grass ( aka Congo Grass) is a highly nutritious source of feed for animals. Its of African origin yet 'travelled out' for several years and is now back to make livestock rearing easier and better for us . Below are some interesting facts about this high protein grass:

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.

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 root splits 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 root splits..pls call for enquiries

Tried it and it worked! Thank you God bless.. I noticed those growing on the ground aren't doing as well as those climbing the stakes.

Pls can you offer advice and instructions on staking
