This plant has been studied by a few universities and has been found to be a promising nutritional source for goats. It is high enough in protein to be considered a complete food source for chickens. It is low enough in Phosphorus and high enough in Calcium to make it a wonderful supplemental feed, covering upto half of your goats' dietary needs.

Here is the link to the PDF for one of the studies - conducted by North Carolina State University:
