Morus alba (White Mulberry)

Morus alba, commonly known as white mulberry, is a deciduous tree native to China and widely cultivated in various parts of the world. It is known for its leaves, fruit, and bark, all of which contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols.

In equine and livestock nutrition, white mulberry is occasionally used in the form of dried leaf powder or extract. The leaves are the most commonly used part and may be included for their antioxidant properties or as a source of phytonutrients. They also contain modest levels of protein, fiber, and minerals.
