00:00In this farm in Laguna, cows and calves are raised and bred for their milk.
00:12That's why they are blessed with what they feed to their calves.
00:16Did you know that there is a special type of grass that is fed to the cows
00:21to increase the nutritional value of their milk?
00:25And that is what we will go through now.
00:28Hello, sir.
00:30What type of grass is this?
00:33Ma'am, this is Napier grass, also known as Patchong.
00:38This is one of the improved grasses that we feed to the cows.
00:43Why? Will the milk taste better?
00:46Yes, ma'am. And there will be more milk.
00:50Ah, so this is like Malonggay, right?
00:52Yes, ma'am.
00:53Okay. What are we going to do?
00:56This is a mature type of grass.
01:00Ah, not from the bottom?
01:02Yes, ma'am. And we will cut it to 3 to 4 inches from the ground.
01:18The cows are asking for food.
01:23Later!
01:30Oh no, the cows are complaining.
01:34The cows are asking for food.
01:40The cows are noisy.
01:44It's just like grass.
01:53They feed three types of improved grass to the calves and cows.
02:01This is Napier, Sorghum, and Mombasa.
02:08This is thicker.
02:11After the grass is cut, it is ready to be delivered to the calves and cows.
02:16In one day, the cows and calves in this farm can produce 55 kilos of grass.
02:26There, we have loaded everything.
02:29This is a bit messy, so we will use a tractor to bring it to the cows.
02:35These cows are so noisy, they are not happy to eat.
02:39Can I also prepare this?
02:42Can I also prepare this?
02:46Let's tie it first.
02:48Brother, let's tie it!
02:52Oh no, there's no gasoline.
02:57Oh my God!
02:58Brother, wait a moment.
03:02Can I go down?
03:06Can I go down there?
03:12Oh, it's slipping!
03:15Okay, that's enough, that's enough!
03:18From the grass farm, it will travel for 10 minutes to the calves and cows' cages.
03:25How far?
03:26How far?
03:27Can't I go sideways like that?
03:28No, it's okay.
03:29Brother, I'm going sideways!
03:41Oh my God!
03:45Oh my God!
03:51I don't want to do this anymore!
03:55Achievement unlocked.
03:57Once I drive a tractor, I can become a farmer.
04:03Brother, you go ahead.
04:04I feel like I'm going to die.
04:07The grass is less every day, so when it rains, they usually make silage or fermented grass.
04:16Aside from making the shelf life longer, the grass also becomes more nutritious.
04:22To do this, the grass needs to be shredded first.
04:29Oh, it went straight!
04:34It's scary!
04:37It's scary!
04:42These will be put in a sack and mixed with molasses.
04:46This is syrup from the sugarcane that will serve as a fermenting agent for the grass.
04:52The grass that will not be used in making silage will go straight to the cows' mouths.
04:58Oh, it's lunchtime!
05:02Let's eat!
05:04Let's eat!
05:06Is it good?
05:08The eating of fresh grass and silage helps improve the quality of the milk of the calves and cows.
05:16In this farm, they produce 8 liters of milk every day.
05:33The milk of the cows and the silage of the grass is used to produce the milk of the cows and the silage of the cows.
