Séné sauvage, sickle senna
Cassia tora L.
The fresh herbage is evil smelling and unpalatable to animals, but seeds and leaf meal can be used to feed livestock.
Milk cows can tolerate up to 15% seeds in their rations.
The seed has been included up to 10% in poultry diets without adverse effects.
The leaf meal may be used to the extent of 5% in a standard poultry mash.
Avg: average or predicted value; SD: standard deviation; Min: minimum value; Max: maximum value; Nb: number of values (samples) used
