The project by Rahab Muinga from KARI-Mombasa originates from previous work with dairy cows at the station. In that research, the overall effect of fresh Mucuna forage on milk production was found to be similar to that of other legume forages like Gliricidia sepium, Clitoria ternatea and Lablab purpureus.
However, during the 12th week of experimentation, cows fed with Mucuna forage produced one liter of milk less than those fed with the other legumes. Levels of L-dopa in the forage and in the cows' blood were not determined in the previous study.
