Napier not just cattle feed

Napier Pakchong 1 which we have previously termed as the Super Napier from Thailand is not just for feeding cattle.

In fact, one businessman with a lot of foresight thinks that there is a much bigger potential for this fast-growing grass for energy generation rather than as animal feed. That means fuel for the big manufacturing companies like cement plants or electric plants.

How? Well, as the claim of the developer as well as the farmer planters of Pakchong 1, this napier is a super producer of biomass. It could produce as much as 500 tons of biomas per hectare in a cycle of one year. More . . .

This is now available in King Ranch at Rosario, Batangas.

Purchase includes the following

- Planting guide

- Certificate from Thailand Ministry of Agriculture

For orders, inquiries or farm visits please call 0917-572-6707 and look for Mr. King Carlos.

New government website for Cattle Raising information

BaLinkBayan is a one-stop online portal dedicated to the overseas Filipino. With the steady inflow of remittances to the Philippines and the growing awareness of its potential for sustenance and development, the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) recognized the need to establish BaLinkBayan. A quip on the Filipino word balikbayan (a returning overseas Filipino), Balinkbayan is a means to connect Filipino individuals and communities to the Philippines through the Diaspora to Development (D2D) program of the CFO. This program promotes and supports diaspora-driven initiatives such as investment, philanthropy, and technology and skills transfer.

 The Cattle Raising page has a profile and Types of Cattle Raising information and other pages which still has to be populated with data.

It also contains tab pages on a per region basis of cattle price trends and contact informatiion for Technical assistance, Financing Institutions and related organizations. 

Generally this is a good site if it has all the information.

Visit the Cattle Raising page.
