Forage productivity in pastures is influenced by the factor of sufficient land availability in order to meet animal feed maintenance. The problem that often occurs is that seasonal fluctuations also affect livestock productivity. Therefore, the availability of forage is very limited during the dry season and abundant during the rainy season. Efforts to overcome the production of fresh forage in…
The ruminant population increases every year, this must be balanced with the availability of superior forage. Many factors affect the low availability of forage including land conversion. The form of effort that can be done is planting superior forage, such as king grass and lamtoro. The use of both forages is very limited because during the rainy season forage production increases, but decreas…
Feed is the most crucial element in the livestock industry. High-quality feed will result in optimal production in the livestock industry, and vice versa.
