Crop dryer produces high-protein bulk feed cheaply
A dairy farmer from the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands found a way of curing grasses to produce cost-effective cattle feed, as this article showed.
A crop dryer enables a KwaZulu-Natal Midlands dairyman to produce high-protein bulk feed at less than 2c/lb [about R1,36/kg] crude protein. With the dryer, he can cure high-producing grasses that are excellent converters of fertiliser into protein, but which are mostly impossible to cure in his high-rainfall and misty area.
