Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala)

2015
Subabool (Leucaena leucocephala) is a leguminous fodder-fuel-fertilizer adding tree/shrub which can grow even in poor soils under low and medium rainfall. It can be grown alone or intercropped with grass and other field crops to some extent. In semiarid climate, it is not possible to grow green fodder throughout the year.

Leucaena leucocephala in poultry nutrition — A review

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1989
Abstract The nutritional attributes of Leucaena leucocephala and the factors limiting its use in poultry diets have been the subject of considerable research over the past 10 years. Recent data confirm the previous findings concerning the favourable proximate composition of Leucaena leaf meal (LLM), although the carotenoid content of this legume ...

The value of Leucaena leucocephala bark in leucaena—grass hay diets for Thai goats

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2010
The study assessed the value of Leucaena leucocephala bark in leucaena-grass hay diets fed to Thai goats. Thai goats in metabolism pens were fed diets containing leucaena leaf (55%) + pangola grass hay (hay, 45%); leucaena leaf (48%) + leucaena bark (9%) + hay (43%); leucaena bark (57%) + hay (43%); and hay only. Feed percentages are expressed on a dry

Mimosine Content of Leucaena leucocephala and the Sensitivity of Rhizobium to Mimosine

Journal of Plant Physiology, 1985
Mimosine was qualitatively and quantitatively estimated from the different parts of Leucaena leucocephala strains K-8 and K-67. The amount of mimosine as percentage of dry weight in the two strains were, respectively, as follows: seeds, 6.82, 9.98; old leaves, 1.5, 1.33; young leaves, 2.85, 3.33; main root, 1.13, 1.02; lateral roots, 1.46, 1.17; stems,

Toxicity of Leucaena leucocephala II. Reduced Fertility of Heifers Grazing Leucaena leucocephala.

The Papua New Guinea Journal of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
Twenty four heifers grazing Leucaena leucocephala cv. Peru were mated when they reached 300 kg live weight. Eight heifers conceived in less than four months, ten conceived in 9-18 months and six did not conceive in 12-27 months. Eleven similar heifers on grass pastures all conceived in less than two months.

Rheological characterization of the galactomannan from Leucaena leucocephala seed

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2012
A water soluble galactomannan isolated from Leucaena leucocephala seeds gave an intrinsic viscosity of 3.5 dl/g and viscosity average molecular mass, M(v), of 6.98 × 10(5) g/mol. This was in reasonably good agreement with the value of the weight average molecular mass, M(w), of 5.44 ± 0.20 × 10(5) g/mol determined by GPC-MALLS coupled to RI.

Leucaena leucocephala as a feed for livestock in Barbados

1987
Leucaena is found in all parts of Barbados, where it has been traditionally harvested for feeding to all classes of livestock. Improved varieties, originally imported from Australia, have been used both in mixed pastures with productive grasses, and as protein banks for grazing or cutting at controlled times of the year.

TOXICITY OF LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1978
SUMMARY Steers fed a sole diet of Leucaena leucocephala cv. Peru (leucaena), rapidly developed a hypothyroid condition. Total serum thyroxine (T4) levels declined from c 120 n mol litre‐1 to 13 n mol litre‐1 within six weeks of full leucaena feeding. Associated with the hypothyroidism was a decline in feed intake, poor weight gain, hair loss, excessive

The nutritive value and forage productivity of Leucaena leucocephala

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1996
Abstract 65 publications on Leucaena for nutritive value and forage productivity (1946–1992) were reviewed. The median chemical composition for leucaena leaf meal [g 100 g−1 dry matter (DM basis)] was calculated to be 4.15 nitrogen (N), 29.2 crude protein (CP), 4.3 mimosine, 19.2 crude fibre (CF), 10.5 ash, 1.01 tannin (Tn), 1.9 calcium (Ca), 0.23 ...
