摘要: The tender shoots and leaves of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) are high in protein and other nutrients but they also contain the amino acid mimosine which can be toxic to livestock if used inappropriately. Feeding experiments using leucaena showed that 5% leucaena leaf meal could be used in the feed ration for chickens and 10% for pigs, but there was no advantage and a suggestion of slightly reduced liveweight gains and toxicity in chickens. Feeding 30% tender shoots and leaves in fresh forage to cattle increased liveweight gains by 32%.
