Abstract

Leucaena leucocephala, a high-quality ruminant feed, is essential for livestock production in the tropics, despite the presence of mimosine in the leaves. Mimosine, in high concentrations, can severely affect animal health and performance. Mimosine and its metabolites, 3-hydroxy-4-(1H)-piridon (DHP), are toxic to ruminants and caused hair loss, slow growth, and oral ulceration, whereas DHP is goitrogenic because it is analogous to tyrosine so resulting in goiter. Mimosine and its metabolites are the main hindrance blocks for the utilization of L.leucocephala as animal feed. Characteristic signs of L.leucocephala toxicity are alopecia, anorexia, reduced weight gain, and weight loss, excessive salivation, esophageal lesions, enlarged thyroid and low circulating concentrations of thyroid hormones. Therefore, the research workers had tried to develop different methods to eliminate the toxicological effects of mimosine and its metabolites. This paper aims to briefly review the negative effects of mimosine from L. leucocephala and its processing to reduce the toxic effects on ruminants. Keywords: Leucaena leucocephala, mimosine, toxicity, metabolites

Abstract

One factor that inhibits the increase in ruminant productivity is nematode infection. It’s cause a decrease in feed intake, weight gain, milk production, disease, death, and expensive medical expenses The control of gastrointestinal nematode infections in livestock, over the past decades is primarily based on the preventive or curative use of chemotherapeutics and generally uses broad-spectrum anthelmintic such as benzimidazole, probenzimidazole, imidazothiazole, macrolide and ivermectin. The widespread use of several antelmintic groups now causes an increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal nematodes resistance against anthelmintics. Anthelmintics derived from various types of plants are expected to replace the benzimidazole so that it can reduce the level of resistance of the gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants. However, for the future there is still a lot of research needed to further improve the ability of natural medicinal drugs to cope with gastrointestinal nematode infections in ruminants. Keywords : benzimidazole, nematode,resistance, ruminants
