The composition is prepared by collecting healthy bamboo, babool, and zuliphora plant biomass, reducing moisture by sun drying and oven drying, grinding the biomass into powder, optionally applying a debittering treatment to reduce tannin-associated bitterness of babool, and blending the powders in selected proportions with molasses, jaggery, mineral mixture, salt, probiotic inoculum, and water for moisture conditioning. The conditioned mixture is fermented under controlled temperature and moisture and converted into powder, pellets, cakes, rounded feed units, feed blocks. The composition exhibits useful nutritional characteristics including protein, crude fibre, carbohydrate, and energy content, while improved palatability is achieved through bamboo-major multi-component blending and fermentation. The invention provides a low-cost, locally sourced, commercially scalable, nutritionally useful supplemental herbal fodder for livestock."
