ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE INCORPORATION OF DOUM PALM MOLASSES IN NAPIER GRASS SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS IN THE SEMI-ARID REGION

Abstract

This economic analysis evaluated the feasibility of incorporating doum palm molasses into Napier grass silage to enhance growth performance and milk production in dairy cows. The analysis utilized key economic parameters, including cost-effectiveness, return on investment (ROI), and net present value (NPV), to assess the viability of this dietary intervention. The findings indicate that using doum palm molasses is economically advantageous, providing a sustainable approach to improving dairy cattle productivity.
