Advantages of using Russian Grass with earthworms and flood irrigation to feed Elephants.

Kindly note that we are currently open to Strategic Partnership arrangements with a view to feed Elephants in Game Reserves and Conservation areas. This is to be done semi-extensively with with rotational grazing and supplemental irrigation strategies.

The goals are to save up to 80% on Elephant and Game feeding cost, prevent ecological damage and the destruction of tree cover due to lack of ground based nutrition and to improve Eleohant quality of life. Our aim is to help prevent overgrazing of existing resources and buffer nutritionally against cold snaps, heatwaves, droughts and lean times of nutritional scarcity.

We aim to do this by adding directly grazed or baled Russian Grass. If you need more Elephant and Wild Game fed at lower cost with better results then you need to innovate with Russian Grass Seed.

Rustenburg Feedlot establishment progress. Kindly note the trials with 5 to 8 kg of seed vs 2 kg of seed.

Note that natural seed drop occurs November and December and that open spaces will be filled up. We are touching up low density areas with a 1 kg trial to prevent w**d and veldt grass encroachment. Stay tuned for results.

Russian Grass trial results in Howick KZN after 10 weeks. Note the impact of water and nutrient seepage from upland to lower areas. Note that Clover biological nitrogen is also washed downhill with water seepage and greatly boost Russian Grass on the footslope.

Did you know that 1000mm of water gives 25 tons of Russian Grass on a DM basis, 2000mm gives 50 tons and 3000mm gives 75 tons. If you plant Russian Grass at the footslope of a hill with water seeoage due to gravity, with 4 hectares uphill you can get seepage water year round that is 3 x to 4 x annual rainfall...

If you want to understand the potential benefit when combined with Clover, watch this video carefully.

Russian Grass in the Eastern Cape. 5 kg Russian Grass seed per ha, 2 kg clover and 5 kg Bioprime Biochar inocukant. R10 500 per ha. 25 to 35% Protein. 20-30 year longevity if inoculated. 8 grazings with livestock a year. 1 to 1.5kg daily weight gains day with weaner valves. 300 grams+ with lambs. Handles frost and snow and grows all year.

No bloat or spoilage. Can be cut and baled and direct grazed by all livestock.

Potch Feedlot Bale results with irrigated dam water:

1). Experimental trial results:

2). Russian Grass and Clover only, under pivot ditect from borehole, 3.3 ton ha per cutting.

3). Russian Grass and Clover with Bioprime Biochar bags hanging in irrigation dam for inoculated pivot water, 4.1 ton ha.

Difference 0.8 tons (800 kg), or a 24.2% yield gain.

We expect cumulative gains over next few seasons and will keep you informed.
