An animal feed composition consisting essentially of water hyacinth meal derived from the leaves and roots which have been separated from the stems and hyacinth leaf protein concentrate, the water hyacinth meal and concentrate content of the composition being in a major amount and minor amounts of corn meal, fish meal, molasses, bone meal, shell and salt.
A feed composition for poultry comprising a mixture of 32-48% water hyacinth meal derived from the leaves and roots which have been separated from the stems, 5-13% hyacinth leaf protein concentrate, 12.0-36.5% corn meal, 10-17% fish meal, 3.5% molasses, 1.0% bone meal, 0.5-2.5% shell, and 0.5% salt, wherein the ingredients are based on percent by weight of the total composition.
A feed composition for swine comprising a mixture of 27-56% water hyacinth meal derived from the leaves and roots which have been separated from the stems, 14-18% hyacinth leaf protein concentrate, 30-40% corn meal, 5-18% fish meal, 2.0% molasses, 0.5% salt, 1.5% shell and 0.1% zinc carbonate;
- wherein the ingredients are present in percent by weight of the total composition.
A feed composition for cattle, buffalo, carabao and horses comprising a mixture of 20-43% water hyacinth meal derived from the leaves and roots which have been separated from the stems, 10% water hyacinth dehydrated stolon, 23-25% corn meal, 15-25% soybean oil meal, 10-15% wheat middling, 2.5% shell, 2.0% molasses and 0.5% salt;
- wherein the ingredients are present in percent by weight of the total composition.
A method for producing a feed composition for poultry which comprises washing water hyacinth plants;
- separating the leaves and roots from the stems;
- drying the leaves and roots at a temperature not exceeding 120.degree. C;
- grinding the dried materials to produce water hyacinth meal;
- and mixing thoroughly 32-48% of said water hyacinth meal, 5-13% hyacinth leaf protein concentrate, 12.0-36.5% corn meal, 10-17% fish meal, 3.5% molasses, 1.0% bone meal, 0.5-2.5% shell, and 0.5% salt, wherein the ingredients are based on percent by weight of the total composition.
