Transforming Namibia: Turning Encroacher Bush into Fodder

The production of animal fodder from local encroacher bush has transformational potential for farmers in Namibia. Farms become more drought resilient, productive rangeland is restored through bush thinning and billions are saved in reduced animal fodder imports.
The short film introduces the process of producing bush-based animal feed in Namibia from harvesting of the bush to milling, mixing with supplements and storing. It is based on a one-year pilot project spearheaded by GIZ Bush Control and Biomass Utilisation Project from April 2016 to July 2017.

This was very helpful, my family farms in the Karoo and we are currently looking for methods to help with the drought. We have got large vlei and bush sections that we need to utilize. Anyone know what 'Mill or shredder' they are using in this video?

I hope this response is still favourable. You can send us your email address to [e-mail] and we can trace the name of the hammer mill. Alternatively read more here: www.dasnamibia.org/download/brochures/GIZ-UNDP-MAWF-Animal-Feed-Manual-2017.pdf
