Also, are mesquite tree beans edible?Not all of the mesquite pod is edible — a great deal of it is indigestible fiber. The most accessible edible portion of the pod is the pulp or pith between the brittle outside and the hard seeds. Ordinary bean pods do not have this pith.Similarly, are mesquite trees toxic to horses? Since the colic, I have looked up “horses and mesquite trees” everywhere and have not found one article about mesquite beans being harmful to horses. Horses which eat large quantities of the beans might also develop colic as a result of the beans causing an impaction of the stomach or intestine. Secondly, will mesquite beans hurt dogs? While mesquite pods are toxic to goats and cattle, they are not reported to be toxic to dogs. If your dog consumes a large amount of pods, she may cause a physical blockage of her intestines which would lead to vomiting and a lack of appetite.Do goats eat mesquite trees?While mesquite is not readily consumed by goats, they can help slow its invasion. Mesquite pods are eaten by most classes of wildlife and livestock. In fact, many animals act as vectors for the spread of mesquite seeds across the landscape. Goats can be used as predators of mesquite seeds.
