“…The mean of liver weight per 100g live weight in the present study was similar with previous studies (Iyayi and Ngodigha 1991;Gupta and Atreja 1998;Yalçın et al 2003). There was no significant difference between heart and kidney weight of male and female as shown in Yalçın et al (2006).…”

This experiment was conducted to determine and compare some characteristics of the meat and carcass of rabbit aged 6 months according to sex. In the experiment six male and six female nondescript rabbits were slaughtered. The weight and percentage of warm carcasses, skin with head and limbs, liver, kidney, heart, lung, forelegs, hind legs, breast and ribs, loin and abdominal wall were recorded. The values for carcass length, lumbar circumference, drip loss, cooking loss, sensory characteristics were also determined. The mean values for warm carcass weight and warm dressing percentage were 698.33g and 47.92% in male and 704.66g and 48.55% in female, respectively. In case meat quality cooking loss, drip loss, proximate and sensory analyses was conducted. In this study significance difference was found in head, skin and limb weight (93.34 g) as well as in percentage (6.46%) otherwise no significant differences were found between male and female rabbits in the characteristics of carcass and meat quality. Slaughter weight was significantly correlated with the weights of carcass, skin with head and limbs, lung, liver, kidney, heart and weight of joints and dressing percentage.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v43i2.20718 Bang.

“…The amendment of iron or copper has also been shown to reverse the inhibitory effect of mimosine on DNA synthesis in Chinese hamster cells (Mosca et al, 1995). Spraying ferric chloride at 1.2% was reported to reduce the toxicity of Leucaena leaves on rabbit health (Gupta and Atreja, 1988). The incorporation of the ferric chloride solution reduces the toxicity of mimosine in animals; however, whether its harmful influence on plants decreases or not has not been documented yet.…”

-Mimosine [α-amino-β-(3-hydroxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-propanoic acid] is a major constituent of Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala de Wit) and responsible for the strong allelopathic potential of the legume tree. Mimosine showed strong herbicidal activities on six plants in a bioassay. All plant parts of Leucaena contain mimosine. The quantity of mimosine in the young leaves and mature seeds was the greatest, 2.66 and 2.38% of dry weight, respectively, while the quantity in the root xylems and xylems was the lowest: 0.18 and 0.11% of dry weight, respectively. Younger plant parts of Leucaena contained greater amounts of mimosine than the mature parts. Mimosine released from young parts and the seeds of Leucaena was proportional to the quantity of soaking water. Compared with the mature seeds, other mature parts of the plant did not give any mimosine through exuding. In soil to which mimosine was added, about 60% of the mimosine was adsorbed in 1-5 days, and only a minor volume of mimosine was decomposed: 5.30 and 0.16% after 1 and 5 days, respectively. Using a mixture of FeCl 3 and mimosine in a 4:6 ratio may be the most effective and economical method of lowering the toxicity of mimosine in Leucaena leaves, giving a safer cattle feed and decreasing the soil toxicity caused by mimosine in areas where Leucaena is grown. On the other hand, the incorporation of mimosine leaves into cultivated soils may be helpful for the biological control of weeds. The findings of this research reveal that mimosine may be useful for the development of bio-herbicides.Mimosine / Leucaena / toxicity / exude / soil / FeCl 3 / bio-pesticide

“…O uso da leucena em dietas animais apresenta limitações devido à presença da mimosina, um aminoácido tóxico para animais ruminantes e monogástricos (Jones, 1985). Esse aminoácido é degradado via bactérias ruminais e do ceco do coelho a 3,4 dihidroxipiridona (Lowry et al, 1983;Jones e Lowry, 1984;Gupta e Atreja, 1998).…”

RESUMO. Dois experimentos foram realizados com o objetivo de avaliar a utilização dos fenos de Leucaena Leucocephala (LL) e de Leucaena leucocephala cv.Cunningham (LC) para coelhos em crescimento. Os teores de matéria seca digestível, proteína digestível e energia digestível, com base na matéria seca total, foram, respectivamente, de 19,13%; 20,87%; 9,04% e 7,77% e 897 e 866kcal/kg para a LL e LC. No experimento de desempenho foram utilizados 132 coelhos da Raça Nova Zelândia Branco, de 40 a 90 dias de idade. Os animais foram distribuídos num delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com 11 tratamentos e 6 repetições de 2 animais por unidade experimental. Os tratamentos consistiram de uma dieta referência e outras 10 dietas, nas quais os fenos de LL e LC substituíram em 15%, 30%, 45%, 60% e 75% o feno de alfafa com base na fibra bruta. Os níveis crescentes de substituição do feno de alfafa pelo feno LL e da LC não afetaram o desempenho dos coelhos durante o período experimental. Os dados mostram que o feno de Leucaena leucocephala e de Leucaena leucocephala cv.Cunningham substituem eficientemente o feno de alfafa em dietas para coelhos em crescimento.Palavras-chave: coelhos, desempenho, digestibilidade, feno de leucena.ABSTRACT. Leucaena hays (Leucaena leucocephala and Leucaena leucocephala cv. Cunningham) for growing rabbits: digestibility and performance. Two experiments were carried out to determine the nutritional feeding value and the performance of rabbits fed with diets including Leucaena leucocephala (LL) and Leucaena leucocephala cv. Cunningham (LC) hay. Digestible dry matter, digestible protein and digestible energy contents based on the total dry matter were respectively, 19.13% and 30.87%; 9.04% and 7.77% and 897 and 866kcal/kg for LL and LC. In the performance experiment, 132 rabbits of White New Zealand breed from 40 to 90 days of age were used. The rabbits were distributed in a completely randomized design with 11 treatments, six replicates of two animal per experimental unit. The treatments consisted of a reference diet and other 10 diets where LL and LC hays had replaced in 15%, 30%, 45%, 60% and 75% the alfalfa hay on crude fiber basis. Rabbits performance were not affected during the experimental period with LL and LC hay inclusion levels. The results showed that the Leucaena leucocephala and Leucaena leucocephala cv. Cunningham hay replaced efficiently the alfalfa hay in diets for growing rabbits.
