Kenya – Hyacinth Plant as Food

In 2018, Jack Oyugi revealed a way to use the Hyacinth plant.  This plant has been invading the fishing waters of Kenya.  Oyugi has come up with the Hyacinth Cake, and it is food for livestock. 

This feed contains 50% protein, it helps the animals to produce more milk, and it even cost 30% less than what is presently sold in Kenya.  The cake process involves steaming, drying, crushing and adding minerals. 

This feed comes at a time when Kenyan farmers are barely breaking even in their business.
