My cows thrive on hydroponics fodder

By  Francis Mureithi

What you need to know:

  • Muturi keeps 50 dairy cows, which he feeds the maize fodder that he farms using the hydroponics feed machine.
  • He borrowed the hydroponics technology from a farm in Uttar Pradesh, India during a visit in November 2016.

A massive steel gate welcomes one at Cool Blue Farm in Mumoi, North Kinangop, Nyandarua County.

One can only imagine what lies inside the walls that hold the gate, which are designed to keep intruders at bay.
