All you need to know about Napier Grass

Mr Jonah Malika inside his eight-acre Napier grass farm in Mukuyuni area of Makueni county. [Philip Muasya, Standard]

I am a dairy farmer based in Meru. I have about six dairy crosses of Friesians and I feed them mostly on napier grass. Off course I supplement with concentrates and mineral licks.
