Description
Sesbania (Sesbania grandiflora) is a multi-function tree. Its main use is as a livestock feed in southern Lombok, Indonesia, the major region for goat and cattle production. It is the main (and sometimes the only) component of ruminant diets (Dahlanuddin, 2001). A national program, aimed initially at improving soil fertility and replanting barren areas, formally introduced it to Lombok in the 1970s (Suseno, 1990).
