Forward Organic Resource Management

High fiber, which isn't so great for monogastrics (e.g., chickens, pigs, humans, horses) as for ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep, goats).

Our chickens enthusiastically eat the banana flower when we cut it off (after a sufficient number of hands have formed on the bunch and we cut off the flower to put the energy into the fruit). What the chickens eat is the immature fruit in the flower.
