Twelve cross-bred (Holstein X Gir) bull calves (11-12 months of age) were divided into two groups and fed over a 90 day period on two levels of leucaena. Animals in Group I were offered leucaena ad lib. whilst those in Group 2 received a restricted amount of leucaena plus a mixture of sorghum straw and molasses (75:25) fed ad lib. Digestibilities of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre for leucaena are presented. The live weight gain was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in animals fed leucaena ad lib. than in those fed a restricted amount of the forage. The animals did not show any symptoms of toxicity during the experimental period.
12头杂交（荷斯坦×吉尔）公牛犊（11 - 12月龄）被分为两组，并在90天的时间里以两种银合欢水平进行饲养。第一组动物自由采食银合欢，而第二组动物则限量采食银合欢，并自由采食高粱秸秆和糖蜜的混合物（75:25）。文中给出了银合欢干物质、粗蛋白、酸性洗涤纤维和中性洗涤纤维的消化率。自由采食银合欢的动物的体重增加显著（P小于0.05）高于限量采食该草料的动物。在实验期间，动物未表现出任何中毒症状。
