Municipal Local Government Operation Officer (MLGOO) Ava Miriam C. Seraspi of Makato, Aklan strongly pleaded to all barangay officials to include in their barangay budget for the establishment of Brgy. Plant Nursery for multiplication of forage/fodder crops which are among the best sources of organic fertilizer for a sustainable organic rice production, Makato One-Town-One-Product (OTOP).
This top–quality fooder for livestock produces manure free from weed seeds (good quality organic fertilizer) as well as high-quality fresh milk and meat, according to Mrs. Seraspi, in relation to her message for Nutrition Month celebration last month.
In response to MLGOO Seraspi’s plea, ABC Pres. Danilo R. Torre; Poblacion, Brgy. Capt. Eufemio G. Dela Cena, and Cayangwan Brgy. Capt. Hector C. Inguin plan the Brgy. Plant Nursery establishment in every barangay for the welfare of farm families and community as well. They agreed to bring this agenda on their monthly meeting this month, to be held at Poblacion Brgy. Hall, Makato.
The Municipal Agricultural Services Office (MASO) recommends the planting of grasses such as Napier, Guinea, and rare bushy Rensonei and Flemingea. These can be intercropped with viny legumes, a very common Centrocemma, tropical kudzu to keep it nutritious, tender and juicy for livestock to produce high-quality fresh milk and meat.
Seven hundred fifty (750) linear meters planted to Napier grass is enough for the entire fodder needs of one carabao weighing about 200 kilograms consuming about 20 kilograms fresh fodder daily. Carabao is a natural shredder, unlike gasoline feed shredder for household/market wastes, said Hon. Torre as he convinced farmers. /MP
