FARM PROCESSES

On-Site Fodder Cultivation And Hay Production

The farm cultivates a diverse range of fodder varieties and manages its own grasslands by blending traditional techniques with modern agronomic practices, promoting both self-sufficiency and sustainable feed management.

Over the years, the quality and yield of fodder have improved tremendously, with a focus on growing varieties that are unique to the region and particularly well-suited to the nutritional needs of indigenous breeds like the Gir cow.
This system is supported by on-site facilities for baling, a weighbridge, and dedicated storage infrastructure, allowing for efficient measurement, handling, and year-round preservation of both fresh and dry fodder.
Together, these advancements ensure continuous natural grazing cycles, sustained fodder availability, and the long-term health and productivity of the farm’s cattle.

Feed Technology

The farm integrates advanced feed technologies to enhance cattle nutrition and efficiency. This includes TMR (Total Mixed Ration) mixing for balanced feeding, chaff cutting for easier digestibility and a well-equipped feed godown and hay godown for organized storage.

Sustainable Water Management

The farm adopts a comprehensive and sustainable approach to water stewardship, combining traditional wisdom with modern techniques to ensure long-term water security:

  • Traditional open wells (baolis) and shet talavs are preserved and maintained to support groundwater recharge and local hydrology.
  • Rainwater harvesting systems and water recycling mechanisms reduce freshwater demand and promote circular water use.
  • Drip irrigation and rain guns are employed to ensure efficient water delivery to fodder fields, minimizing wastage.
  • Well-planned channelisation of water across the farm enables optimal flow and distribution for agricultural and livestock needs.

Preservation Of Indigenous Forest, Natural Grasslands And The Devrai

Areas unsuitable for cultivation have been thoughtfully conserved as indigenous forests, natural grasslands, and sacred groves (Devrai), supporting biodiversity protection, habitat restoration, and a low-impact approach to development. These zones are home to a wide variety of native fodder species that contribute both ecologically and economically to the community.

Among the species grown are Khirni (Manilkara hexandra), known for its hardy nature; Marvel or Ghandel (Dichanthium foveolatum); and Bovur or Jungle Rice (Echinochloa colonum), a moisture-loving grass regarded as one of the best fodder options and historically consumed during times of scarcity.

Phulada or Indian Christmas Grass (Pseudanthistiria heteroclita) thrives in open grasslands and under shrubs, used traditionally for thatching and sometimes as hay. Other valuable native grasses include Jetare (Dichanthium caricosum), an excellent open-grassland fodder; Shata or Gandwel (Isielima laxum); and Boru (Sorghum halepense), often found along stream beds and field bunds.

These species not only sustain local livestock but also help maintain the ecological balance of the region.
