Abstract
Subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) leaves are good top feed resource to
livestock especially goats. However, there have been reports of occasional ill
effects of feeding subabul in livestock due to its mimosine content which acts
as an anti-metabolite inhibiting the utilization of tyrosine needed for the formation
of hair and wool (Johnes 1979).
