TOYO, Mitchell et al. Aloe vera as Nutritional Supplement for Caprines. Rev. prod. anim. [online]. 2016, vol.28, n.1, pp.23-26. ISSN 2224-7920.

The potential of Aloe vera bark residue was assessed for caprine nutrition supplement. Physical and chemical characterization resulted in humidity, 2.76 % ± 0.12; pH 4.45 ± 0.10; raw protein 4.37 % ± 0.13; ethereal extract 2.15 % ± 3.06; raw fiber 16.94 % ± 0.52; cellulose 19.76 % ± 0.20; lignin 9.68 % ± 0.30; hemicellulose 12.45 % ± 0.39 and total ash, 13.68 %± 1.62. These results are comparable to results achieved with sugar cane bagasse, banana, orange and algae, to produce animal nutritional supplements.
