Plant fodder shrubs for more milk and cash

Export citation

Most small-scale farmers feed their dairy cows with inadequate and low quality fodder resulting in low milk production. Fodder shrubs of both local and exotic species like calliandra, trichandra, mulberry and tree lurne can increase milk yield. To maximize the benefits, plant and feed many types of fodder shrubs.
