We have a good number of farmers chipping and grinding for feed for their cattle– Let me know where you are and I will send you contact details of a farmer closest to you!
· Ritlee Pioneered the first manufacture of drum style chipper in South Africa.
· Ritlee Pioneered the in-line grinding option on a chipper here in South Africa.
Farmers testified:
· When and what to chip and grind.
· Tree Analysis reports by laboratories.
· Ritlee wood chippers with grinder.
· A Farmers Story!
Bushfeed:
BushFeed, Bos Kos is made from selected bush and trees, by harvesting, chipping and grinding then mixing different recipes created by farmers using their local bush in the mix.
Below we have types of bush and trees from different climatic areas, some farmer stories etc
All are created by individual farmers.
Some mixes are listed below!
Typically:
· In Dry areas it is found that mostly Acacia bush and trees is used.
· In normal rainfall areas Black wattle, Port Jackson, Poplar, Soet doring etc is used.
· It also allows maintaining the herd size during times of fodder shortage.
· The majority of respondents provide bush feed to their cattle and sheep.
In this BushFeed game, Ritlee pioneered.
· THE design and MANUFACTURE OF THE FIRST DRUM STYLE CHIPPER IN SOUTH AFRICA.
· WE PIONEERED THE FIRST DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF A GRINDING OPTION BUILT INTO A WOOD CHIPPER. THIS IS DONE IN OUR 225 WOOD CHIPPER RANGE.
Farmers testified that bush-feed production reduces pressure on the lands and grazing. It also allows for maintaining the herd size during times of drought.
· Many farmers provide bush-feed to their cattle and sheep achieving excellent results.
· Farmers have tried different bush-based rations depending on the availability and cost of supplements.
· The use of local pods and drought-resistant fodder crops, such as camelthorn pods and spineless prickly pear as supplements are found to be great options to enhance nutritive value.
· Here in Southern Africa, trees and shrubs have been used for centuries as a source of feed for animals.
· All Acacia, which is a legume are able to convert, by means of rhizobium bacteria, atmospheric nitrogen into usable nitrates giving them the exceptional quality of being able to grow in nitrogen-deficient soils.
· (Rhizobia are diazotrophic bacteria that fix nitrogen after becoming established inside the root nodules of legumes.)
· This practice will once again slowly clear lands for your grazers allowing regrowth of grasses when your rains eventually arrive again!
· This bush which has been regarded as an encroach plant is a cheap source for the production of feed.
