RE: Grasses In Our Neighborhood: Beyond being weeds
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?
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.
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)
