Many agricultural experts have agreed that injecting
modern day technologies into Nigeria policy of feeding livestock would save us
from many conflicts frequently recorded between herdsmen and farmers presently
in Nigeria.
Fodder Green technologies is one of such improved science
that has proffered solutions to food and water intake of livestock in many
advanced countries where ranching of animals are practiced as feed production
is grown in a climate controlled environment that guarantees daily highly
nutritious feeds using seeds of( millet, maize, sorghum, barley) and water
without fertilizer.
As federal government is looking at direction of
importing improved grass variety from abroad for multiplication by farmers for
the feeding of livestock, this fodder solution technology also according to
agricultural experts could be handy to solving clashes between herdsmen and
farmers because of its daily nature of giving nutritious feed to animals
without necessarily using soils but only seeds and waters without fertilizers.
The sole promoter of this technology in Nigeria, Mr.
Edwards Mbaemphasizing the strategic importance of the improved research method
to addressing climate change challenges of feeds and waters availability to
animals said the governments and the best animals agricultural practice of
economic generation thereby encouraging ranching and reduce losses occasioned
by roaming of animals that constantly resulted to clashes between farmers and
the pastoral.
Towards entrenching this technology, Mr. Mba said a
national workshop would soon take place sometime around May 19, 2016 for more
education and awareness creation of taking advangesof this tested technology to
mitigate climate change challenges that was already taking its toll on the food
security of our country.
