"Tapioca pellets, which recently have been introduced in New Zealand, can have valuable potential as a supplement in pasture based dairy cattle rations"
Onlinesupplements.net.nz says that tapioca is good for cows.
I've always thought of it as good for me and am amazed that it's being gulped down by dairy cows here in New Zealand. Tapioca is not especially cheap to by as a desert ingredient and it puzzles me that it can serve as stock food - don't we feed our cows grass? Isn't that what gives us our market edge?
What's next - pavalova?
More from onlinesupplements:
"Tapioca pellets are a high-starch feed ingredient produced from the roots of the tapioca-, manioc-, or cassava plant. Tapioca is a tropical perennial root crop, which is widely grown in Southeast Asia, Africa and Central America. After harvest, the roots of the plant are sliced into chips and dried in the sun. Subsequently, the chips are pelleted (8 mm) and are mainly utilized for the production of starch for human food and industrial uses, and stockfeed applications."
Odd.
