MADRE DE AGUA The Wonder Plants by Madre

 


How it came to us.

As early as 2010 when we got to know Madre de Agua plants. Initially we are not aware how beneficial this plant can be for our farmer and the farm animals. This plant can help local farmers to ease up their commercial feed expenses by growing this plant in their backyard or field. My dad is one of the few who propagate this plant for our farm feed requirements. The plantation is located in our province in La Union. It’s in the low land below the foot of the Summer Capital of the Philippines(Baguio City)). Based on his experience, farming became more profitable because of using Madre de Agua by lowering your commercial feed expenses to almost 70%. Madre de Agua is a game changer using this as natural plant feed to supplement the feed's farm feed requirements. Madre de Agua can be propagated through cuttings. My dad told me that our 1st Madre de Agua cutting came from a friend who worked in one of the feeds manufacturers during that time. They are the ones supplying our pig and chicken feed requirements. The price of the cuttings sell around Php150/pc. approximately (USD 3/pc).

How it helps us during the Pandemic and Lockdown?.

What to feed to the farm animals?


For pigs, goats, and cows we can give the raw leaves and small branches. Enjoy listening to the snaps and the crunch of the animals as they consume Madre de Agua. For chickens, turkey, and ducks you can feed them the young leaves straight from the tree.


What to do if you have enough supply of leaves?

You can subject the leaves to drying, Madre de Agua is easily crashed when dry or you can use a grinding machine. This crashed Madre de Agua can be dried and mix with other feed. By doing this we can increase the life span of Madre de Agua and stock it.
