Description
Qurrat-Ul-Ain and co-authors fed goats in 2024 with garlic and papaya leaf powders to test growth, gut health, and methane-linked germs. Forty male goats were split into five groups: plain feed, a chemical methane blocker, garlic leaf, papaya leaf, or both leaves. Weight gain, feed use, blood marks, rumen germ counts, gut wall traits, and meat quality were all read.
The mixed-leaf group gained best, with better feed use and blood protein. Papaya leaf cut the methane-maker count by about a tenth. Garlic leaf held rumen germs lowest, and all leaf groups grew taller gut wall folds. Meat quality held steady. The team sees the leaves as a green aid, with more work owed on dose and on other herd animals.
