Desmodium is popular in cut-and-carry feeding systems. It can be intercropped with fodder crops such as maize or Napier grass and can help control weeds. It is a high-quality, protein-rich forage. It can be grown between or under other crops.
Desmodium is a good quality supplementary forage with a high protein content. It should be given in small quantities mixed with basal fodders. Harvest just what is needed and spread it in the sun for a few hours to wilt.
