What animal eats Napier grass?

 

75 days old Super Napier plants can be fed to chickens, ducks, horses and rabbits

Super Grass is very palatable because the stalks are tender

After 90 days of planting and can be fed to cows and buffaloes

It has other uses aside from fresh feed for farm animals.

If there is excess harvest because there are not enough animals to eat the newly cut grass, the same could be shredded and made into silage.

When shredded into fine particles, the same could be fed to vegetable-eating fish like tilapia and Pangasius.
