Major Challenges faced by the Cattle Industry 11
Major Challenges & Constraints of the Cattle Industry 1. Low breeding base 2. Local Peace and Order Situation 3. Inefficient Marketing Systems 4. Infrastructures 5. Unfavorable Government Policies 6. Lack of Adequate Technical Support, Veterinary Extension Services from the Government 7. Insufficient Supply of Forages and other sources of feeds. 12
Challenges: Insufficient Supply of Forages and other sources of feeds • Seasonal availabilty of “wild” forages - In the four regions where cattle raising is significant, the raisers are highly dependent on wild forages. During dry months the fields are almost totally devoid of vegetation thus feeds for ruminants are very scarce. • Cultivation of high value forages - The cultivation of forage crops like madre de agua, napier, indigofera and other high protein forages are not commonly practiced by the raisers(farmers) due to lack of knowhow and access to planting materials. If there maybe available “wild” forages in the area,the nutritional value is not sufficient to sustain the growth and development of the animals • Uninformed raisers - Lack of knowledge on the part of the raisers to utilize other feed material as corn cobs and stovers which are readily available in the locality 13
Corn Cobs 14
An Overview: Corn Cob Facts 15
16
12.8M MT Of corn cobs & corn by products last 2015 17
What are we doing with all these corn cobs? 18
What are our neighboring countries doing with them? • A mild abrasive for cleaning building surfaces when coarsely ground. • Source of energy or for charcoal production • Bedding for animals • Used as industrial source of the chemical furfural (vanilla flavor) 19
What are we doing with Corn Cobs? • Primarily used as source of energy • Burnt for disposal • Left to rot for disposal 20
Sadly most farmers view CORN COBS = WASTE 21
Negative Impacts of Corncobs when burnt or left to rot • When burnt & left to rot – Corncobs can alter soil condition when burnt and left to rot – Can disrupt soil microflora – Can deplete soil nutrients 22
Corncobs left to rot 23
Putting Corncobs to good use: Corn bio-fiber - a reliable raw material for ruminant (cattle, carabao, sheep & goat) feed 24

Simple Mechanical Process Hammer Sorting Loading Sifting Bagging Milling 26
27
Corn Bio-Fiber - High in crude Fiber - Improves Fecal Quality - Supports Hindgut Digestion - Increased production of Short Chained Fatty Acids (Energy) 28
Putting Value on Corn Bio-Fiber • Nutritional Value – Crude Protein 5.0% – Crude Fat 1.72% – Crude Fiber 17.88% – Moisture 5.35% – Ash 1.67% – Calcium 0.06% – Phosphorus 0.13% – Gross Energy 2,700 kcal/kg 29
Immediate Uses of Corn Bio-Fiber 30
Problems encountered when using corn-bio fiber in its original state as cattle (ruminants) feed • Palatability • Spoilage • Seasonal Source 31
FERMENTED BIO-FIBER 32
What is fermentation? • The chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms into useful feed component as protein, carbohydrates, fats and oils and others. 33
Why Ferment? • To make corncobs / stovers more palatable • Fermentation saves the animal energy to digest the feeds which will translate into lesser feed requirement for growth, development and reproduction. • Fermentation breaks down the cells of the corn cobs/stovers thereby releasing protein, fatty acids etc. for animals’ growth development and maintenance. • Fermentation preserves the raw material and thus can be used in a later period. 34
- Fermentation improves the protein content of the corn cobs/stovers and cobs due to the development of microbial cells which are converted into single cell protein. - Fermentation of cobs and stovers improves the population of beneficial microorganisms which are necessary to improve the immune system of the animals - Fermentation lessens the ammonia emission in the manure, making growing ruminants more environmental friendly. 35
Digestion Process Simplified (Inside the Stomach or Rumen) Energy | Growth & Development 36

The Fermentation Process • What you need? (Batch of 20KGS) – Finely Ground Cobs 20KGS – Molasses 2 Kgs – Enzyme 50 Grams – Urea 100 Grams Optional - Copra Meal 2 Kg - Soybean Meal 2 Kg - Corn grits 3 Kg - Rice Bran 1 Kg 38
Simple Process Put in plastic container. Be Mix molasses, Use this to sure the enzyme and Store for at moisten the material is urea in 20 least 25 days ground corn fully liters of clean before feeding cobs compressed water inside the drum. 39

Impacts of Bio-Fiber Availability 48
2 = tons per year 49
12.8 M Tons (Annual Corncobs Production) DIVIDED BY 2 Tons (Cattle Feed Consumption / Year / Head) 50
51
What does this mean? 52
Hitting 2 birds with one stone 53
- Sufficient, reliable supply of - Additional income for corn low-cost feed farmers - Support current and future - Efficient way of disposing expansion projects of the waste (corn cobs & stovers) cattle industry - Will open doors of - Natural feed can now be opportunity for farmers to stocked and transferred to grow ruminants other regions. 54
