Siratro Grain - Feed Ingredient
Siratro grain refers to the seeds of Macroptilium atropurpureum, a tropical legume commonly known as Siratro. While Siratro is primarily cultivated as a forage or cover crop in warm climates due to its nitrogen-fixing ability and high biomass yield, its seeds (grains) can also be harvested.
As a feed ingredient, Siratro grain is high in protein and contains moderate levels of fiber, similar to other leguminous seeds. However, its use in equine diets is uncommon, and it is more frequently utilized in ruminant nutrition or forage systems. Limited research is available on its digestibility, palatability, or safety in horses.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Siratro Grain as an ingredient.
