NAPIER GRASSES and GOATS

Napier is a wonderful grass indeed. Not only is it very easy to propagate, it is also a strong weed that last even during dry seasons.
We are planting more of this for our goats. We hardly feed them commercial feeds, and have to do with natural forages like Napier, and now Madre de Agua. Legumes like Ipil-ipil, Madre de Cacao(kakawate), manimani are just some of those naturally growing in the farm.
Today our goats are heavier, and those that have suffered in months before with loose and watery bowels are now recuperating well. Deworming them has done them good. We are expecting some kid deliveries from our pregnant does this month, and i hope multiple kidding from pregnant does(not just single births). Lets see.
Feeding with naturally growing and locally found grasses legumes and forages is our thing. During our goating seminar we were told to feed them commercial feeds too, but knowing the cost of these, I am more inclined to work them around local and native forages without having to scoop up precious funds for their upkeep. We should be buying more goats soon from our neighbors to beef up our herds and improve the genetics soon.
If it can be done with local forages without the need for commercial feeds, natural farming is the way to go!
