Use
Inclusion limit
Dairy cows (Indonesia): 15% ground dried leaves in concentrate did not affect intake, digestibility or milk yield (F-S17). Broilers: 2-5% leaf meal generally acceptable; layers: avoid 15% (F-S17). Best used as a supplement or mixed forage, not the only feed (F-S17).
Contains coumarin, condensed tannins, cyanogenic compounds, nitrate and other secondary compounds; variable palatability (introduce gradually; wilting for one day can help); nitrate accumulation reported early in the rainy season; toxicity clearer in non-ruminants; toxicity to horses reported but not well confirmed (F-S17).
