WHY BUY FLEMINGIA FOR GOATS & SHEEP
Flemingia, a highly adaptable legume, is an excellent choice for ruminants due to its ability to thrive in various types of soil and grow without synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, Flemingia can grow in areas without an irrigated water system, making it a practical choice for those living in drought-prone areas.
Flemingia has high crude protein content, containing up to 25% crude protein, which stimulates weight gain in ruminants. Moreover, Flemingia’s low crude protein digestibility rate ensures a slower feed intake, allowing for proper rumen fermentation and absorption of nutrients, thus promoting better feed conversion rates.
Flemingia’s tannin content is an added benefit to ruminants as it is a natural dewormer, an immune system booster, and an antibacterial agent. Tannins in Flemingia directly impact parasitic worm load, thereby reducing the need for expensive deworming drugs. Tannins also promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the rumen, improving gut health and better nutrient absorption.
Flemingia grows best in a shaded area with a 22-28 degrees Celsius temperature range. Flemingia harvest is more abundant in the summer than in the rainy season and can substitute up to 15% of the daily feed intake of non-pregnant goats and sheep, but not higher than 7% for gestating and lactating goats.
