Ruminants
Cassia sieberiana is often used as a fodder for cattle, especially during drought periods (van der Maesen, 2007). Only the pods are palatable (Le Houérou, 1980). In a survey of agropastoralists in western Niger, Cassia sieberiana was found to be rejected by the ruminants due to its offensive odour (Ayantunde et al., 2009).
