Why Napier CO5 is Imp for Camels
By nature, camels are often associated with semi-nomadic or purely nomadic production system which tends to expose camels reared under these various production systems to series of diet plans. Camels are cud-chewing ruminants that possess hinged jaws and very sharp teeth, making their feeding pattern to be very similar to that of cows. They have been domesticated over four thousand years ago with the only remaining wild species roaming in the isolated parts of China and Mongolia. They are broadly either dromedary with one hump or Bactrians with two humps.
Transcending above the nomadic production system, more modern approach are now being embraced by herders basically because of the commercialization of certain camel products such as its milk and meat which consequently necessitates the need to be more particular about what these camels eat.
Because of its brilliant quality, texture and nutritional values, the Napier CO5 has been considered to not only be ideal for cow rearing and other live stocks but for camels as well. By nature, camels will eat almost everything but not everything is ideal for camels as food. Since camels are found in the most desert part of the world, they are renowned for their remarkable ability to eat even the thorniest of desert plants.
However, because of the great socio-economic importance that the camels have brought over the years, the pastoral settlement of the Arid areas of the world depends so much on them and this makes feeding them right one of the most important things as far as rearing camels is concerned. Since it is not enough to feed them but to feed them right is the goal here, we are introducing the camel rearing community to the unique nutritional wonders of the Napier CO5.
What is Napier CO5?
A close look at this very unique species of plant would give an impression that the plant is merely a variant of the common elephant grass and nothing special but this unique breed of Napier grass is a hybrid created by cross-breeding the elephant grass with the pearl millet plant under certain scientific condition, to create a special breed of Napier grass whose nutritional values is quite unprecedented.
Napier CO5 is widely used in cut and carry feeding systems and is of growing importance in other agricultural systems. All over the world, Napier CO5 is now renowned for its many desirable characteristics which include but not limited to high yield per unit area, tolerance to intermittent drought and high water use efficiency, making it a forage of choice. It has the ability to withstand repeated cutting and will rapidly regenerate, producing palatable leafy shoots. Consequently, enhancing the knowledge-based use and conservation of the available Napier grass resources promises to substantially benefit livestock value chains.
Why Napier CO5 is Most Ideal for Camels
Napier grass will provide for your camel what most forage species cannot and even though camels and cows are quite similar in their feeding patterns, camels somehow manage to crave better dietary attention. For instance, the crude protein level of most forage species is lower than even the standard requirements of camels. For camels, their protein requirement covers quite a wide area from growth to production of essential human-
craved produce such as milk. For camels, their microbial requirements are often met at 6% to 8% of crude protein while the crude protein requirement to be able to meet quality production of milk and growth is set between 8% to 20%. What this translates to me is that if you allow your camels to eat almost everything or you feed them with regular forage species such as sorghum, pearl millet, timothy grass, alfalfa, tall fescue, hay and so many more which only have between 5-10% of crude protein, you will only have been successful to feed them with protein sufficient enough to meet their microbial requirements which conversely then suggest that your camels are suffering from protein deficiency.
Napier CO5, on the other hand, will essentially meet both the microbial requirements and camel requirement for production needs. There is no other plant that is as rich in protein as the Napier CO5 as the heightened crude protein from Napier CO5 stands between 14-18%. Not even all the beer in the world, hay, maize silage, alfalfa or any other species of grass that falls under the forage species can give your camels the amount of protein Napier CO5 can give. Its Crude fiber stands at 26.5% with an overall dry matter of 20.3%, making it more superior than any form and species of Napier that ever existed.
Camels also require a lot of energy basically because there are basically classified as a beast of burden with just very few species being intentionally kept as livestock. On average, the energy requirements by camels constitute both the maintenance including the energy required for movement especially while feeding and the energy required for production. On average, most of these common forage species commonly eaten by camels contains just about 3.7 MJ/KG DM to 8MJ/KG DM. The interesting fact about camels is that they require a daily energy requirement of 36-54 MJ/KG DM which also varies depending on their weight in most cases ranges between 300-700kg. Napier CO5 is packed with the maximum level of ideal energy requirements that are sustainable for the maintenance and growth of your camel in a way that other regular forage species cannot contend.
Conclusion
Napier CO5 is way ideal for silage even without any additive. You can also ensure an all-year-round production of Napier CO5 as it can grow in almost all weather conditions, making it the ideal species that the desert part of the world must embrace. Napier CO5 is drought resistant and can grow and survive even in some of the most adverse weather conditions insofar as the soil is rich in organic matters needed to ensure necessary growth. This characteristic makes the plant easy to grow and readily available to meet the essential needs of your camel.
Comparing Napier CO5 to Maize Silage and Alfalfa Grass
Neither Maize Silage or Alfalfa Grass can give you the three most remarkable properties of the Napier CO5. To start with, both Alfalfa grass and Maize silage is low in crude protein and too high in starch. It is also very low in essential minerals such as calcium, sodium, and magnesium that is essential essentially for dairy livestock. Basing livestock feeding on just maize silage can result in low dietary intake which can also result in serious health issues as well as a reduction in the productiveness of your livestock. Also, the Napier CO5 grass has high water efficiency that allows it to survive in any weather condition.
