Peach palm fruit is widely used as animal feed. With its low fiber and high starch content it can substitute maize in the fodder mixture.[10] By ensiling the fruits, drying and heat treatment to deactivate the trypsin inhibitor can be avoided. However, a protein-rich additive is needed to enrich the silage of peach palm so it can be used to feed cattle.[11] Peach palm fruit can further be used to feed fish, poultry and pigs and to produce multi-nutritional blocks for cows, goats and sheep.
