The Presence of Dihydroerythroidines in the Milk of Goats Fed Erythrina Poeppigiana and E. Berteroana Foliage
Analysis of Antibiotic/Drug Residues in Food Products of Animal Origin, pp 211-223
Abstract
The use of nitrogen fixing crop species, such as alfalfa and clover, as a high protein animal feed is an established practice in U.S. agriculture. However, in many tropical countries nitrogen fixing pasture species are not commonly used. Temperate legumes do not grow well due to a combination of climate, competition and lack of traditional commercial inputs. On the other hand, nitrogen fixing tree species are abundant in the tropics. Many have been introduced or naturalized as a result of the coffee and cocoa industry where crops are managed below a prunable canopy of trees. Innovative uses of these trees have been developed by several international development organizations such as the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) in Costa Rica.
