Highly feed prices are one of the problems that breeders often complain about.
Everyone who has a business will want to get a profit. No exception for those who have livestock businesses. But sometimes there are obstacles that must be faced. In livestock business too.Highly feed prices are one of the problems that breeders often complain about. If not immediately look for a solution, it can result in losses, and not profits.
Indeed, the increase in the price of animal feed is a natural thing, because the cost of production and raw materials also continue to increase, especially during the current situation. Maybe for small scales breeders and those who are live in villages, the increase in feed prices will not have an impact on their business because they can still look for cheap alternatives to feed. Indeed, factory-produced feed is the best feed Because, concerning composition it has been arranged in such a way that it is very good for livestock development. But once again, the price is quite expensive to make farmers think twice, how to find a solution so that the cost of feed can be reduced.
For those who are live in villages like me, the high’s price of feed is not a burden Because, in the village there are still so many raw materials that can be used as alternative feed. Besides leaves such as papaya leaves, cassava leaves, and also kale which are relatively cheap, there are more feed ingredients that can be obtained free of charge. Weed or wild kale leaves a very annoying crop for farmers. Wild kale leaves are found in rice fields and irrigation channels. How to process it is quite simple.
That's a simple solution for those of you, especially those who are live in rural areas and are raising livestock but are constrained by the high cost of feed. There is no God's creation in vain, we can also take advantage of weeds, one of which is an alternative to factory feed. Therefore, let's protect our environment, do not damage it and care for the earth where we live.
