Extract

In Bangladesh, locally produced fishmeal is available as a protein source for lactating cows but sometimes it is scarce and expensive. There is a need to find an alternative concentrate such as a legume which can be grown by the roadside, embankment and home. An experiment has been carried out to assess the effect on performance of partly replacing fishmeal with fresh foliage from Leucaena leucocephala.
