Hedgerow Planting of Improved Pasture Grasses and/or other Fodder Trees or Shrubs


Hedgerows of fodder trees or shrubs (e.g., D. rensonii, L. leucocephala, G. sepium, Flemingia congesta, Sesbania sp., etc.) are planted along contours at certain intervals. The strips between the hedgerows are grown with improved pasture grasses and/or other fodder shrubs. Prunings from the hedgerows, grasses, and fodder trees/shrubs are fed to confined animals. An example is the Simple Agrolivestock Technology (SALT 2) developed by the Mindanao Baptist Rural Life Center (MBRLC) at Bansalan, Davao del Sur.
