Abstract

Three groups of twelve lactating cows (Jersey x Sindhi) were fed rations containing fresh Glirkidia leaves supplying 0.25 and 50 per cent of the CP requirement. Total DM intake, milk yield and milk composition did not differ significantly among groups and the cost of milk production was less in Gliricidia fed groups.
