Description
Anan Chaokaur and six colleagues published a goat feeding study in two thousand twenty-four on purple Napier grass silage. The purple pigment, anthocyanin, is a strong antioxidant. It may protect dairy animals from cell stress and lift production.
Nine milking crossbred goats were fed corn silage, plain Napier grass silage, or the purple version. Intake and digestion were tracked, and milk and blood were tested for makeup and antioxidant power. Goats on corn silage ate the most feed and fibre. Protein intake was similar across the three diets. The study sets up a comparison of whether the pigment-rich silage brings blood or milk benefits beyond the plain grass.
