Abstract
Three fodder shrubs comprising Gliricdia sepium Leucaena leucocephala and Manihot esculenta together with the control species napier were evaluated for forage productivity with and without nitrogen fertilization and under 4 8 and 12-week cutting intervals. Napier was the best yielder in dry matter (15.6 t/ha/yr) followed by M. esculenta (6.2 t/ha/yr) L. leucocephala (5.5 t/ha/yr) and G. sepium (2.1 t/ha/yr). Dry matter yields generally increased with increased cutting intervals and nitrogen fertilization. In vitro dry matter digestibilities of the dicot fodders were low but their nitrogen and mineral contents were higher than those of napier. Leucaena leucocephala was the most persistent fodder with napier the least. Hydrocyanic acid in the foliage of M. esculenta was high but declined with increased cutting intervals
