feeds.
12Challenges: Insufficient Supply of Forages and
where cattle raising is significant, the raisers are highly dependent on wild forages. During dry months the fields are almost totally devoid of vegetation thus feeds for ruminants are very scarce.
crops like madre de agua, napier, indigofera and other high protein forages are not commonly practiced by the raisers(farmers) due to lack of knowhow and access to planting materials. If there maybe available “wild” forages in the area,the nutritional value is not sufficient to sustain the growth and development of the animals
raisers to utilize other feed material as corn cobs and stovers which are readily available in the locality

21Negative Impacts of Corncobs when burnt or left to rot
– Corncobs can alter soil condition when burnt and left to rot – Can disrupt soil microflora – Can deplete soil nutrients
