Abstract

Fifteen leguminous tree and shrub species were evaluated for production of fuelwood, forage and forage nutrient concentrations. When assessed for survival, growth and biomass yields after 30 months, Acacia crassicarpa, A. leptocarpa, A. auriculiformis, A. torulosa and A. aulacocarpa were the most outstanding. The nutrient concentrations in edible fractions varied greatly among the accessions. While the results indicate that most of the species tested could not supply adequate minerals when used as sole feeds, they could supply valuable supplemental fodder.
