Peanut straw
_
Peanut straw is the fibrous residue left after harvesting peanuts, comprising the stems, leaves, and remaining plant material. It is a highly nutritious byproduct, rich in protein, fiber, and minerals, making it an excellent roughage option for livestock feed, especially for cattle, sheep, and goats. Peanut straw is palatable and easily digestible, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional forages.
In addition to its use as feed, peanut straw serves as mulch in agriculture to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and prevent erosion. Its biodegradability and nutrient content also make it suitable for composting, enriching the soil with organic matter. Peanut straw is a versatile and sustainable resource, widely used in farming systems.
