Title: Malunggay for increased milk production in goats: Post by: mikey on January 13, 2008, 09:27:32 AM Our farm will study the nutritional value of Malunggay this year in 2008 to see if it is possible to increase the milk yield in our milking goats,using a all natural product.
Nutritional:flowers,leaves and pods eaten as a vegetable,source of calcium,iron phosphorus and vitamins A,B,C.Pods maybe used also for intestinal parasitism.Dried leaves is used for lactation.A woman will take 6 tablespoons per day,I am not sure about doe goat(s).We will most likely start at 3 tablespoons and see what happens from there.This is just something we plan to explore further this year.One of those problems raising meat breed(s) of goat(s) is that there are times the doe cannot produce enough milk for her young,this maybe of some value to us farmers. mikey Region#7 Independant Producer: Title: Re: Malunggay for increased milk production in goats: Post by: mikey on February 04, 2008, 12:15:57 PM Malunggay is reported to contain 7 times the vitamin C found in oranges,4 times the vitamin A found in carrots,3 times the iron found in spinach,4 times the calicum in milk and 3 times the potassium found in bananas.Reports suggest the seed may contain about 35% oil.
