Products from the cladodes of prickly pear cactus plant

Agricultural engineering is a multidisciplinary field that applies engineering principles, techniques, and technologies to solve challenges related to agricultural production, processing, and management. This branch of engineering encompasses various aspects of agriculture, including crop production, soil management, irrigation, machinery design, post-harvest processing, and environmental conservation.

Projects

Exclusive economical projects:

Producing Valuable products from the Cladodes of wasted Prickly pear cactus plant.

1- High nutritional value animal feed from the Cladodes of Prickly pear cactus plant.

 – The continuous growth in demand for livestock and red meat,

– The high cost of planting or importing animal feeds,

– Limited water resources and fertile land, the need for expanding livestock production,

– The look for a cheap source of non-traditional feed.

 – Planting prickly pear cactus in desert back of the governorates and produce animal feed from its cladodes.
 – Produce animal feed from the cladodes produced from the existing areas (4400 acres – 20 ton/acres*year – suitable for feeding 17.6 K livestock) and the newly planted areas (80 ton/acres*year).
– Breeding calves from these feeds (gives conversion rate of 1.22 kg/day), good source of protein, and carbohydrates.

– Reducing malnutrition and increasing self-sufficiency from red meat to save billion of dollars of importing animal feeds, red meat and livestock, by converting cladodes to animal feeds, which considered in Egypt as a waste (FAO call it ‘The Green Gold’).

Model needs to be expanded all over the targeted country, by governorates to give desert back land for reclamation by Bedouins and fresh graduates.

Regional Center for Food & Feed to register it as an animal feed recipe as many countries do.

Recognition and compensation for model creators.

Lack of awareness about the benefits of using cladodes as an animal fodder.
