Circulation created with cows

Cows are soil doctors.

When cattle were grazed on abandoned farmland where the soil had become too hard for a tiller to enter, the soil became soft and pliable within a year.
After one year of grazing cattle, the soil became soft and plentiful.


A year ago, the land could not even be plowed. Today, it is a fruitful field.

Cattle eat well. Land covered with tall, hard grass becomes nothing but low grass in a month when cows enter.

Cattle have four intestines. Because it takes time to digest grass, they put the grass they eat back in their mouths, chew it, swallow it, and ruminate on it in their four stomachs, digesting and absorbing it as they go.
The stomachs of cattle contain many microorganisms that help them digest the high fiber content of the grass.
As they ruminate, the grass they eat ferments.
This becomes feces, which fertilizes the soil.

Abandoned fields are often full of nests of wild boars,
But the entry of cows reduces the damage caused by wild boars.

What can't be done by one person alone
But by cooperating with cows, we can solve some problems that cannot be solved by humans alone.

Cattle, too, stand on the soil as they should, which reduces stress and disease.
Their bodies are leaner and healthier.

Grass from abandoned fields is not enough, so vegetable scraps from vegetable processing centers and fermented feed made from sake lees, okara (bean curd), etc., will also be given to the cattle as they see fit.
If industrial waste becomes cattle feed, there will be nothing to throw away.
The intestinal environment of the cows also improves, killing two birds with one stone.

Perhaps because the intestinal environment of the cows is good, Morikawa Livestock Breeding's barns do not smell at all.
The pastureland does not smell at all like a zoo.

Both cows and people are back to their natural state.
This alone reduces illness and stress, and everyone is happy.
