RE: Grasses In Our Neighborhood: Beyond being weeds

in #stemng6 years ago

Nice diggings on this post.. I love the contents and the point.
But is it possible for the herds men and farmers to be friends because cow for example will need some farm feeds(grass) to fed on which might prompt them damaging some crops planted.. How can one bridge that?

Sort:  

Of course Sir. Bridging the gap is the reason this research was carried out in the first place. Ruminant animals, cattle/cow for instance prefer succulent pasture/fodder. They graze mostly on grasses (because it is an energy source) and legumes (protein source for them).

So, if we could store/preserve an high amount of grasses e.g Panicum maximum, Pennisetum purpureum_ and many more which is naturally abundant on our farmlands, the animal takes it in if the conditions highlighted above is met.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR HAY/SILAGE IS GOOD.

Which means there wont be anything like herdsmen?
Since the food is stored and preserved.. So i think wandering around with cattles/ cows won't be necessary... I'm i right??? (laughs)

@adeosunadeyinka well, herdsmenship cannot be completely erased because

  1. It's like their tradition. Whereas it can be curbed to the minimum level.
  2. Cows sometimes prefer to go out to graze.

not totally necessary though
