(Baonghean.vn) - Not only did he find a new and highly effective way of raising livestock, Mr. Cu Ba Co also planted "Japanese grass" as feed to fatten up livestock. At the same time, the source of Japanese grass also brought in a fairly high income when he sold grass seeds for 1 million VND/kg.
Mr. Cu Ba Co and many households in Sa Lay village, Muong Long commune (Ky Son) have been growing Japanese grass to fatten buffalo, cows and chickens for many years. Talking about the name Japanese grass, Mr. Cu Ba Co said that this type of grass originated from Japan, is grown a lot in Laos and in recent years, people in some villages bordering Laos have also bought this grass to grow for livestock.

If the undergrowth is not burned, the grass will not germinate and new plants will not grow. As for the grass, if it is not burned in early summer, the grass will also wither and not grow new plants.

And in fact, this grass is not only liked by chickens but also by cows in Muong Long. Moreover, buffalo, cows and chickens who eat this grass grow very quickly and fatten up. This grass can replace other types of food. In the photo: Mr. Cu Ba Co collects grass seeds.

Chickens love to eat the seeds and leaves of this grass, and it helps them grow quickly and have good resistance. Even wild birds love this grass. If you don’t pick the seeds in time in the fall, the birds will eat them all,” said Mr. Cu Ba Co.
