Mysore Milk Union Limited to have fodder farms in every taluks at the plot of ten acres.
Now-a-days farmers own small piece of land and with the generated less amount of income they cannot offer good amount of nutritious feed for their livestock’s. While, in the offered fodder about 70 per cent of the dry straws will be wasted while chowing by animals.
In this regard, MYMUL is coming out with an unique project to mechanise the agro waste in districts and cut down the waste. It will be inaugurating Karnataka's first Fodder Densification Unit (Fodder Block) at Munachanahhli in Chamarajanagar District in next month.
The set-up machines will compress the dry fodder into blocks enriching fodder value by adding cattle feed ingredients like fodder, wheat and paddy straw, mineral mixture, and much more.
MS Lakshmi Prasad Yadav of Mymul said that wastage of about 90 per cent of dry straws can be prevented by providing blocks for animals. The produced fodder blocks will be distributed to farmers of Mysore and Chamarajanagar and transportation is also a loss cost affair.
'The block provides good quality of nutritious food for animals in a affordable price. For a big cow two block per day is sufficient, while one for smaller cow. About 60 per cent of chopped straw, cane grass, molasses, will be added to over come nutritious deficiency. Apart this, in winter season the fooder will be stored in the unit and will be supplied in summer,' he added.
The unit will be set up in five acres of land and the estimated cost of the Projects is Rs 2.6 crore, in which Rs 1.6 crore will be funded by GoI, under Rashtriya Krushi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and another crore will be owned by Mysore Milk Union Limited (MYMUL). The capacity of the plant is it produces 12 tonnes of block per day. The Unit will be developed in the lies of Uttarkhand Densification Unit, he added.
Madhumathi, farmer women of Periyapatna said that “we are finding it hard to serve food for animals due to severe scarcity of fodder followign droguht. The blocks will be really a boon for us as its save maximum amount of waste.”
