摘要

Tropical legumes can improve animal performance by increasing forage intake and digestibility and also indirectly, by fixing nitrogen in the soil, thus improving yield and crude protein content of grasses grown in association (Broderick, 1995). In thetropics, shrub legumes have a potential use in small ruminant feeding systems. Shrubs generally out-yield herbaceous legume species, are more tolerant to adverse management conditions, and produce good quality forage even during long dry seasons (Lascano and Avila, 2002). However, their evaluation as forage for small ruminants has been limited. Cratylia argéntea (Desv.) Kuntze (CA), Calliandra calothyrsus Meissner (CC) and Leu-caena leucocephala (Lam. de Wit) (LL), are three potential tropical shrub legume species that need further evaluation as forage sources for sheep and goats. All three shrubs have previously been evaluated as supplements and in protein banks in ruminant grazing systems (Pamo et al., 2005; Espinoza et al., 1999; Sánchez and Garcia, 1998). However, there is limited information on the effect of the physical form of these shrubs on palat-ability, preference, and ingestive behavior of small ruminants. The objective of this study was to evaluate in three different experiments the selective consumption of CA, CC, and LL by lambs when offered: under grazing conditions in pastures with grass-legume associations, as legume hay when combined with grass hay, or as fresh-cut legume herbage for animals in confinement.
