Description
The first studies made in Cuba about the effect of grazing on several legumes demonstrated that the highest yields during the dry season as well as the higher estimated intake were obtained with Leucaena (Funes, 1980). Productions higher than 14 I (litres)/ cow were obtained and the concentrate was substituted (Funes and Jordan, 1987) using Leucaena forage during another slight short work which was conducted to substitute totally or partially a commercial concentrate in dairy cows diets. Nevertheless, it is necessary to study long-term production systems under grazing conditions with different per cent from proteic bank and/or grass association. The o bjective of this study was to determine Leucaena response under a milk production system which included 10% of the total area of grass dedicated to a proteic bank with Leucaena + guinea.
