China has abundant green plant feed resources, including grasses, leaves, vegetables, and crop stalks, all of which hold significant potential for development and utilization. Feeding livestock and fish with green plant-based feeds offers numerous benefits such as low cost, high efficiency, minimal investment, quick results, wide availability, easy processing, good nutrition, and the absence of grains. These advantages make it a highly effective solution that can generate substantial economic and social returns. Here are some production and feeding methods for various types of green plant feed:
1. **Basic Animal Feed**
This type of feed is mainly made from corn straw, rice straw, peanut vines, and sweet potato vines. It can be produced by simply harvesting, cleaning, drying, and crushing these materials. This kind of green feed serves as a fundamental component for herbivorous animals and is widely used for cows, beef cattle, and herbivorous fish. It can be added to feed at 40% to 60%, or even used entirely. Adding about 40% corn straw powder to fish feed can cut costs in half.
2. **Feed Additives**
Fresh corn stalks, ryegrass, alfalfa, peanut leaves, sweet potato leaves, and tung leaves are commonly used as raw materials. These are dried quickly and then crushed for use. As they are processed while fresh, they are pollution-free and highly nutritious. These green feeds can replace part of the traditional additives in animal diets, promoting better growth and health in livestock and fish. When used at 50% of the total feed, they cost less than half of corn. They also contain 1 to 3 times more amino acids, vitamins, and crude protein compared to corn. On average, they reduce feeding costs by 30%. (Zhou Hong inspection)
By utilizing these green plant feeds, farmers can not only improve the sustainability of their operations but also enhance productivity and profitability. With proper management and application, green plant feed represents a promising direction for modern agriculture and aquaculture.
