We are going to feed ruminants with the silage of these herbage at different mixture ratios compared to maize silage, hence the economic impact. Intercropping grass with legumes improves soil fertility, reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers which therefore, decreases it negative effect on climate change

We are not measuring how much CH4 is emitted probably due lack of efficient equipment. Reasons for grass-legume mixture in ruminant nutrition is to improve the efficiency of feed utilization by the animals.

Certainly the mixture of legumes and grasses has been used to supplement the diet considering that legumes provide more protein, in addition to some legumes have tannins that can affect the animal with digestive disorders and when used in conjunction with gramineas prevent these disorders .
