An experiment was conducted with Friesian X Zebu (Boran) crossbred growing steers to compare an agro-industrial by-product, wheat middling cowpea hay, and wilted forages of leucaena and tagasaste as cattle feed. These feeds were fed daily to supplement the basal diet of native hay. A mineral supp...

Reviews work on rumen bacteria that appears to solve the problem of mimosine-DHP toxicity, which currently prevents feeding of the tree foliage of Leucaena Leucocephala in large quantities for ruminant livestock.
Various combinations of a low-tannin herbaceous legume (Vigna unguiculata) and foliage of tanniniferous shrub legumes (Calliandra calothyrsus, Flemingia macrophylla and Leucaena leucocephala) or a low-tannin shrub legume (Cratylia argentea), all mixed together with a low-quality tropical grass (B...

The effect of feeding increasing levels of Leucaena leucocephala leaf hay on the potential fertility and feed intake of male highland sheep maintained on roughage diet was studied. In treatment 1 (NS), animals received only chickpea haulm. Treatments 2 (L100), 3 (L200) and 4 (L300) consisted of 1...

The detection of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, as a pathogen of Desmodium spp. in Colombia, is the first reported case in South Aemerica. In the field, promising pasture legumes D. gyroides, D. heterocarpon and D. ovalifolium were severely damaged, while adjacent stands of Centros...
