摘要：

Analysis of Leucaena leucocephala from various localities in Western Nigeria shows that young leaves, pods and seeds contain more crude protein but lower crude fibre and ether extract than mature ones. The crude fat component was higher in the seeds (4.6% and 5.5% for green and ripe seeds, respectively) than in any other edible part of the plant, while the green and brown seed coats contain the least amount of ether extract and total ash. The mineral composition of the dry matter of mature leaves is 2.8% calcium, 0.26% phosphorus, 0.37% magnesium, 1.78% potassium, 0.21% sodium and 0.12% iron. © 1979.
