Fodder Shrubs to Consider in Kenya

A new breed of easy-to-grow shrubs are giving livestock 40 to 60 percent better nutrition than nappier grass, lifting the milk production of cows by up to 2 litres a day, and saving large sums on commercial feeds. The best options in Kenya and East Africa are:

1. Calliandra

2. Lucerne/Alfalfa

3. Mulberry

4. Sesbania

5. Leucaena Diversifolia
