                    [Summary] => Ever heard of madre de agua or nacedero?


This is a fodder tree, scientifically named trichantora gigantes, which has been found as a protein-rich feed for animals, particularly swine.

Introduced in the Philippines some years back from Latin America (Colombia and Venezuela), it can be planted without fertilizer input in various types of soil and elevations up to 1,800 meters above sea level. It grows easily between plantation crops and produces 40-60 tons per hectare of fresh leaves.

In a hectare during one cropping season (six months), one can earn a net income of P592,850, according to the DA-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).

Initial investment reaches P488,000. However, payback period is only 1.09 years, as per BFAR computation.

The initial expenses go to land and construction costs, water inlet and outlet, water pump, seine net, hapa (inverted net), and tubs.
