Dietary Bordão‐De‐Velho (Samanea tubulosa) Fruit Improves Grazing Beef Cattle Performance

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Integrated grass‐tree systems have been proposed to address socio‐ecological challenges in tropical cattle production. Bordão‐de‐velho (Samanea tubulosa), a legume tree native to the Amazon, is commonly found in degraded pastures and valued by farmers for its soil, forage, and livestock benefits.
