Siris tree leaves are good for goats, especially when supplementing their diet of mature dry grasses.
Specifically, research indicates that supplementing an adult goat's diet with 40-45% siris leaves appears to be optimal when they are primarily fed mature dry grasses. Another beneficial leaf comes from the Ardu (Ailanthus excelsa) tree, which grows well in semi-arid and semi-moist conditions. These leaves can provide valuable nutrients to goats.
Here's a summary of suitable leaves:
- Siris (Albizia lebbeck): Good for supplementing a diet of dry grasses.
- Ardu (Ailanthus excelsa): Suitable for goats and grows in various conditions.
It's important to consider the specific nutritional needs of the goats and the availability of the leaves when determining the best option. Other factors, such as the goat's age and health, may also influence the suitability of different leaves.
