 My name is Samua Asira. I'm from Muya East. I'm in my farm which is about five acres. I've grown brakeria grass which I normally feed to my cows. We were introduced brakeria grass by Karo Katumani branch. They came visiting and then they gave us our first since which was about 250 grams. When it was introduced to us that was early 2018 we embraced it because we wanted to try it out because from literature the grass would give you more milk for our animals per day and therefore that's how we embraced it and it has not let us down, it has done very well. Mimini konavara tibili basiliknis na zaras. Before I started feeding my cows on brakeria I had a lot of problems with the cow health even fertility but now from the time I started now feeding cows on almost like a hundred percent on brakeria I had realized an overhead health improvement. Milk production have gone up and also veterinary visits for treatment to my cows have drastically reduced. So I would say that on average head health it's perfect. When I'm using the grass the difference I have is in the volumes with increased in volume then I get more from the market and also I have a few heifas that are showing some quick growth. The animals have done better even by seeing the physical features when it comes to the milk production it has also increased. My initial production was 10 liters for my head of three cows but now I have improved to around 6 liters with the head of four cows so I've seen a huge increment in milk production which I'm still hoping to continue improving. What I've realized is that after milk sales I'm able to sustain the feeding of the cows even the farm workers, even sustaining myself without digging deeper from my pockets. Previously you would get animals not 100 getting to about 7-8 liters per milking. Now when you get 10 and even beyond per milking that's getting to 20 to 21, 22 liters per day per cow then I think that's it's good. We're producing per cow two liters, two and a half. Now I can comfortably say my worst cow is doing minimum five liters and I will say the grass has done its trick. Kwaida, nipiangrasiakwaida. Ile mazuaturi kuatuna pata, niki dogo kuleko ile sasa tuna pata wakatihu. Ising omba, kina mongi aina toa lita ishirini na bereni hasiku asikiki kisha hapo. Kwanziya niyanzi e kutumiya iglaze pesei meaza kuku amingi. Bereni kutuna pata miambili wa natiivo. Akini sasa tuna expect over 8 a day 2000 per day. Mintenansi yambu rakeliya sanasana ni bolea tu naipati yambolea yangombi na kama ni wakati kumene shambu ama unatumi yamangia irrigation unaeka factoriza aina acien. The challenge is not the grass, the challenge is the farmer because when you start doing work when you don't understand what you're doing the products will definitely be exactly that you don't understand them. The current challenge is it has some fine airlines which when you are harvesting and converting to hay it usually disturbs people but however it doesn't have any other major challenges. Black carrier for me I can't quantify the costs but what I know is that especially now that I'm watering one day's milking is sufficient to water for the week then the normal daily expenses that I'm able to maintain with this so as far as I'm concerned it's a good deal. Because the grass has high content of protein we have saved in terms of a daily meal which is used as a concentrate in addition to the powder and that is almost reducing the intake with the meal by about a third also of the quantity that we normally give per week for example so that's basically the saving that we in terms of the animal requirement which of course translates into economy. Foda production on the grass you don't use a lot of money so acquiring that particular folder is cheaper as compared to any other folder so in long time I've been able to save a road in farm expeditions. I definitely will recommend the grass because if you manage it well you can bale and sell two if you put your heart in it your cows will tell you that they are having good feet and when they have good feet then you have good results milk the size of the cows and also even if you get a bull you will be able to feed it within a year and a half you dispose it at a decent price. I would definitely recommend in fact quite many of the farmers they have come and they have bought a few treats to go and try in their in their shamba. Once it is properly established it can withstand even quite a lot of water stress that is why you can you can see we have not had the range and even when we have not been able to apply irrigation water adequately but you can still it still withstands the difficulty weather. I will highly recommend Bracaria grass to farmers because establishing the grass is very very easy also maintaining the grass and the fumes or at the shamba it's easy because there is no winding after establishment and then it's very very vigorous vegetative wise it will be able to to grow very fast and you'll be able to get enough fodder from each and every cut you'll be able to get enough fodder which will be able to feed your cows.
