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.
– 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.
