Field day
On 27-28 September 2023, Livestock Development for Community Livelihood Organization (LDC), in cooperation with Royal University of Agriculture (RUA), Cambodian Agriculture Research Development Institute (CARDI), The University of Adelaide and Murdoch University, conducted forage field days in Kampong Speu and Takeo province under the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research project SMCN/2012/075: Management practices for profitable crop livestock systems for Cambodia and Lao PDR.
The purpose of the field days was to extend the findings and outputs from the project relating to nutrient management for forage production to potential end users and to provide them with some means to further extend these findings to other interesting parties. The primary messaging was around recognizing and responding to nutrient deficiencies in forages, and general forage management on sandy soil. Approximately 50 attendees participated in each event, including POAHP, District Agricultural officers, Village of animal health worker, commune council, village chiefs, farmers, project staff, the project leader and students from RUA. The location for the two-forage field day was
• Samreth Village, Tang Krouch Commune, Samrong Tong District, Kampong Speu Province, hosted by Mr. Kong Vannak and his wife Mrs Chum Chanthorn.
• Roka village, Cheang Tong commune, Tram Kak district, Takeo province, hosted by Mr Oeun Sophal.
Five videos were produced by the project covering general forage management, which were presented and disseminated at the event. The videos are hosted online at the LDC website and on YouTube. Attendees were provided with links to the videos to help them share the videos further. The title of the 5 videos are:
1. Introduction of the forage
2. Seed and location selection
3. Planting management
4. Forage management
5. Harvesting
At the end of forage field day, the project team have reflected with participants on the messages from the field days. Most of farmers are happy to see the 5-video showed on the forage growing and visited the plot of forage, and are committed to grow the forage for their cattle by sourcing forage seedling from the host forage farmer for transplanting in their land.
