A study group on silage making was recently held in Mkhondo to educate livestock farmers on the importance and techniques of producing high-quality silage. The session focused on the benefits of silage, which is a fermented green fodder stored under airtight conditions. Silage provides high-energy feed that is easy for cattle to digest and can be preserved for months without spoilage. This ensures consistent feed availability, particularly during winter when fresh pasture is limited. Farmers learned that proper silage production helps maintain livestock health and productivity while reducing reliance on costly commercial feed.
