LIVESTOCK APPLICATIONS:

Mulberry is an excellent wild life forage and as documented by FAO agronomist Dr. Manuel Sanchez, D’arbe D’or is a recommended addition to ruminant, livestock and poultry feeds, replacing grain-based concentrates in lactating cows for excellent yields.

Dr. Sanchez reports better egg yolk colour and increased egg size and production when mulberry is utilised. 70 -90 % of the plant is digestible for herbivores and monogastrics and mulberry has excellent palatability, and an essentially good (15-28%) amino acid profile with high mineral content. There have been no anti-nutritional factors nor toxic compounds identified .
