Great work you are doing Fred and thank you for the knowledge sharing. I also started my dairy farm a few months ago and the biggest challenge is feeding. So as a farmer I have realized if you are able to manage/produce sufficient feeds then you are home and dry.

How do you make profit from one dairy cow
@FredDairyFarm21 күн бұрын
1.Planting your own fodder. 2.intercrop fodder that have high crude protein thus minimizing the amount of concentrates. 3.Do it on your own to eliminate labour cost. 4.Always ensure your cows and the cow shed is clean and comfortable bedding to eliminate diseases and treatment cost. 5.timely vaccination and insemination.

I have tried Napier for two times but not successful, can you share me the right way?
@FredDairyFarm21 күн бұрын
1.stage of harvest is very crucial. 2.Wilting-Ensure you expel as much water from Napier as possible. 3.Compaction-Ensure you compact well and expel any oxygen inside . 4.Sealing.-Ensure you tightly seal and put a heavy object on top to apply pressure.

Good Day Sir, I hope you doing well, Can I feed my dairy cows with only maize silage ? They will still give me good milk
@FredDairyFarm21 күн бұрын
Maize silage is high in energy.Dairy cattle need carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and water. The amount of nutrients required depends on the stage of lactation, milk production, and the cow's body weight.

Hi, what is the recommended spacing when planting super napier as compared to normal napier grass. I have the cuttings but the recommendation for spacing is quite varied.
@FredDairyFarm28 күн бұрын
if you are using rows,10 cm apart in rows that are 30 cm apart.if you are using tumbukiza method(holes) just use 1metre by one metre.Once they have grown and first cutting,they will fill the entire area
@CecilHenryOfficial26 күн бұрын
@@FredDairyFarm thank you. I would like to use the tumbukiza method but i am not sure of the sizing of the holes that i should dig when doing so. I have tried with holes around 30 by 20 cm in length and width and like 10 cm deep. Will that do or would i have to add the sizing of the holes?

Thanks Fred for the encouragement. I however have two questions for you: 1) At 1.5m height what is the nutritional value of Super Napier? In this video you just said nutritional value is high, but the question is how high? I suggest if funds and time permit that you take samples of super napier at 1.5m height to a laboratory for testing so that you get correct i formation to help you on deciding on the correct height to cut your super napier. Remember farming is a science. Nutritional value of super napier is also influenced by other factors such as soil fertility. 2) Can one really do away with dairy meal concentrate and fully depend on super napier or other fodder crops? 3) How has been the performance of your dairy cows in terms of milk yield and body score condition since you started feeding super napier? Have you ever done any comparison between maize silage and super napier silage? Looking forward to your informative responses.
