Abstract
Macro and micro minerals were estimated in Ficus religiosa, Azardirachta indica,
Enterolobium saman, Albizia lebbeck and Millingtonia hortensis tree leaves. Ca level
(3.53'3,) in A. lebbeck was highest. Tree leaves in general contained higher Ca content than
common fodders. The P content was comparable to common fodders. Cu content was
highest in F. religiosa leaves. E. saman leaves were very low in Mg content. The toxic
mineral (Mo) was below toxic level in all tree leaves. The studies suggested that the mineral
content in tree leaves of coastal state of lndia were adequate for livestock nutrition except
for Mg content of E. saman
