Sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This datasheet is pending revision and updating; its contents are currently derived from FAO's Animal Feed Resources Information System (1991-2002) and from Bo Göhl's Tropical Feeds (1976-1982).

Datasheet

Description
Click on the "Nutritional aspects" tab for recommendations for ruminants, pigs, poultry, rabbits, horses, fish and crustaceans
Common names 
Sissoo, bois de rose, Indian rosewood, shisham, sisu
Species 

Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. [Fabaceae]

Feed categories 
Related feed(s) 
Description 
Large deciduous tree growing in light soils and requiring a large amount of water.
Nutritional aspects
Ruminants 
The rather small leaves are good fodder. Cattle are very fond of the leaves and young shoots, on which they browse freely. The leaves can be ensiled.
