Hay: a business with great potential

the best breed of cattle is the best food. "The race enters through the mouth" and today the Dominican livestock has grown in certain technologies that offer their cattle better food through the use of the hay and silage of grasses and forages.

At the beginning of the 1980s the Ministry of agriculture established its programme of conservation of fodder (Procofo), which has borne fruit with the course of the years.

All technologies take time in its adoption and we know that farmers often are delayed in the absorption of these.

The preservation or conservation of pastures and forages at present with the needs arising from climate change, new varieties, new equipment to make hay and other factors related to the livestock industry, we predict that if "we get stack" all that we are related to the production of milk and meat, we educate in the management of u000agrasses and forages, obtain the economic resources, the basic and necessary equipment, well we can increase the profitability of our farms cattle.

Recently at a Conference and picnic on hay sponsored implements and machinery (c) x (IMCA) and showing their modern equipment lit us a bulb on the future of the conservation of the forage.

Light or simple, analyses and calculations can indicate that can be more business produce 20 to 30 bales of hay every 45 to 60 days in many fields today rice who have problems, but that grass sowing can rent him more money than the cereal producer.

Without a doubt a readjustment of soils, use of water, production of Hay, stabilization of the production of rice, including export Hay, it can be a good thing for the country, and of course for the farmers or producers farming.

Principle
other livestock principle is u000athat to be good producer of milk and meat must be good producing food for their livestock or these pastures or fresh fodder preserved.

When we have a surplus of accumulated Hay we can avoid that droughts are die our cattle or animals in general, but if these stocks learn to use them well can produce more milk and meat per unit of surface area.

I soon narraré production of forage sorghum experience where they are getting 70 quintals of forage green task by court within 60 days, which indicates that if we handle well pasture and managed 30 bales of hay and forage for task before indicated, we can either increase the amount of units bovine hectare or more kilo of meat in standing or more litres of milk fresh.

Reader Appriasers. If you are a farmer buys a pencil, a piece of paper and calculate what can rent you the production of hay. And to the authorities, to establish u000afarms specialized in Hay for the critical periods of drought.
