The effect of supplementation with Leucaena leucocephala and maize bran on voluntary food intake, digestibility, live weight and milk yield of Bos indicus X Bos taurus dairy cows and rumen fermentation in steers offered Pennisetum purpureum ad libitum in the semi-humid tropics

An experiment was carried out to evaluate dairy performance and rumen fermentation from a forage-based diet supplemented with Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) and maize bran.
