Lead Researcher: Prof. Evans Basweti, PhD

Led by Prof. Evans Basweti of Kisii University's School of Agriculture and Natural Resource Management, this two-year project aims to evaluate the agronomic performance and nutritional value of Napier grass, Bracharia, and Boma Rhodes as forages for dairy production in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya. With the decreasing farm sizes due to growing human populations and limited knowledge about the nutritional benefits of these forages, the research seeks to provide critical information on their production and energy content. The findings aim to support dairy farmers by enhancing forage options and improving the nutritional quality of feed for dairy cattle.
