Use
Inclusion limit
Cattle: up to 35% cassava forage used with urea and molasses, about two months of adaptation (F-S19); dairy cattle: leaf meal up to 50% of diet had positive effects (F-S19). Poultry: more than 5% cassava leaf meal not recommended in typical diets; 5% suggested limit for layers (F-S19). Tilapia fingerlings: 10% leaf meal gave best growth (F-S19).
Contains hydrogen cyanide (HCN), 80-2000 mg/kg DM depending on variety, maturity and processing. Usually sun-dried, wilted or ensiled before feeding; fresh foliage seldom fed (F-S19).
