Powering Dairy Prosperity with super napier grass

Drought‑tolerant, quick‑growing and nutrient dense, super napier grass has rewritten the playbook for Indian fodder. We start with certified napier grass seed cultivars bred for biomass and sugar content. Under a scientific fertigation and mulching protocol, each hectare yields four lush harvests a year—clocking 30–35 t fresh weight per cut. Within four hours of mowing we chop the material into 17 mm strands, inoculate with select lactobacilli and clamp it in air‑tight bales. The controlled fermentation creates stable organic acids that lock in energy, water‑soluble carbohydrates and a rumen‑friendly microbial cocktail. The finished napier grass silage smells sweet, flaunts a pH < 3.9 and stores for up to 15 months without nutrient loss.

Logistics That Protect Nutrition and Margin

Our integrated hub in Satara district sits within a 65 km radius of contract farms, ensuring fresh material hits the bale the same day. Finished bales ride covered trucks to dairies and cattle feed manufacturers in India—reaching Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat in under 48 hours. Each 55 kg cylinder saves 2–3 kg concentrate by delivering fermentable sugars and balanced fibre in one ready‑to‑use package.

Economics at Herd Level

Consider a 50‑cow crossbred herd. Shifting 60 % of the roughage from hay to baled napier:

  • Milk lift: +120 L/day × ₹32 = ₹3,840.
  • Concentrate saving: –40 kg/day × ₹24 = ₹960.
  • Net daily gain: ₹4,800; bale cost recovery in 6 days flat.

Climate Wins That Future‑Proof Your Brand

  • Each tonne sequesters ~3 t CO₂‑e via rapid biomass turnover.
  • Zero stubble burning: farmers earn fodder revenue instead of torching fields.
  • Plastic wrap take‑back: Used film shipped to a partner recycler for pyrolysis fuel.

FAQ’s

12–15 months if the film remains intact. Once opened, feed within 48 hours.

No. Flake the bale by hand; ready‑cut fibres maintain rumen scratch.

Blend at 25 % of roughage for three days, then switch free‑choice.

Instead of replacing maize silage, we recommend combining it with Super Napier for optimal results and improved milk yield. At Jeevan Shakti, we actively promote this balanced approach. Our product, JSS Premium, is a carefully crafted blend of Super Napier and maize silage—designed to deliver the best nutritional value for your livestock

You can collect used wrap in bulk and route it to a certified recycler.
