Abstract

Dried subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) pods contained 17.50 CP, 1.83 EE, 27.74 CF, 46.28 NFE, 6.65 TA, 0.53 Ca and 0.32 P on % DM basis. Average daily DM intake as % body weight was 3.15 kg. Digestibility coefficients for various proximate principles were DM 58.52±1.25, OM 59.14±1.31, CP 56.35±2.18, CF 50.46±0.94, EE 77.38±0.59f NFE 64.67±2.62. DCP and TDN contents of subabul pods for goats were 9.86 and 56. 77% respectively.
