Introducing Hi-Cross

This hybridisation of Napier Grass (African Elephant Grass) and American Pearl Millet has produced a much more palatable livestock feed due to its very sparse to non-existent hair - which makes it very desirable for cows.

 

The Hi-Cross is a very good source of protein. According to the University of Sultan Zainal Abidin, the hybrid grass contains up to 18% – 20% of protein, more than the standard Napier Grass and other livestock feed sources like maize, Mombasa grass, and Alfalfa.

​

The greatest feature of the Hi-Cross is it's yield. According to the Department of Veterinary Services of Malaysia, if managed properly in a tropical climate it can grow up to 7 feet tall yielding 26 tons per acre per harvest every 45 days. This allows us to produce large quantities of feed at more affordable rates compared to other sources.

​

Sunrise Feed is currently undergoing extensive research and development of the Hi-Cross Grass on our 550-acre land in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Early studies have shown promising results. Our objective is to expand the development of Hi-Cross and commercialize the product across the globe.
