Enrich Napier Grass Quality by Ensiling with Cassava Leaf and Chips for Increased Milk Yield in the Dry Season

Abstract

Dairy cattle will produce more milk if fed high quality feeds. Silage made from Napier grass mixed with cassava leaf contain 15-17% crude protein. This is good for increasing milk production. Napier grass plus cassava leaf silage can be prepared using shallow pits or polythene bags.
