The nutritive value of Leucaena leucocephala cv. Peru in balance and growth studies with goats and sheep [Malaysia]

Goats had an average daily DMI of 51.0 to 60.9 g/W0.75 kg and sheep 39.4 to 53.7 g/W0.75 kg. The digestibility of dry matter was 53.9 to 56.4%, organic matter 54.1 to 57.0%, crude protein 44.8 to 45.0% and crude fibre 38.5 to 64.8% for goats. The corresponding values for sheep were 50.0 to 50.5%, 51...

Summary:Goats had an average daily DMI of 51.0 to 60.9 g/W0.75 kg and sheep 39.4 to 53.7 g/W0.75 kg. The digestibility of dry matter was 53.9 to 56.4%, organic matter 54.1 to 57.0%, crude protein 44.8 to 45.0% and crude fibre 38.5 to 64.8% for goats. The corresponding values for sheep were 50.0 to 50.5%, 51.1%, 40.5 to 46.3% and 31.2 to 50.2% respectively; except for the digestibility of crude protein. Nitrogen retention data gave values of 22.8 to 36.3% as percentage of intake for goats and 8.7 to 18.4% for sheep. The nutritive value was DCP to 11.0 and 9.1 to 10.1%, TDN 56.9 to 67.8 and 46.7 to 54.2%, DE 8.66 to 12.62 and 8.62 to 10.00 MJ/KG and ME 7.10 to 10.35 and 7.07 to 8.20 MJ/KG for goats and sheep respectively. 25,50 and 75% leucaena in Napier grass-legume diets significantly stimulated (P0.05) 24.4, 32.9 and 55.8g/day increased live weight gain. Feed efficiency was correlated with increased live weight gain (r
