Practical Feed Plan for 50 Goats

 

📐 Total Land Use Summary

Component	Area / Trees
Hybrid Napier	1.25–1.5 acres
Moringa	20–22 trees
Gliricidia	30–35 trees
Subabul	15–18 trees
Dry fodder storage (jowar)	1 acre seasonal

👉 All trees fit on borders + internal fencing
👉 Core land remains open

---

🧠 Feeding Pattern (Very Important)

Morning

• Dry fodder (kadbi)

• Gliricidia

Afternoon

• Napier (bulk)

Evening

• Napier + limited Subabul

• Moringa (alternate days or daily small)

---

❌ Mistakes to Avoid

• Planting too much Subabul

• Reducing dry fodder because “leaves are enough”

• Cutting trees too low

• Depending on only Napier

---

🔑 One-Line Rule

Napier fills stomach, trees build body, dry fodder protects rumen.
