Abstract

Leucaena leucocephala is a legume tree that is becoming increasingly popular in beef
production systems Australia wide and especially Queensland. Its high nutritional
value, fast fodder production and drought tolerance mean that it is becoming an integral
part of many Central and Southern Queensland properties. Killara Cattle Company
is a property in South-East Queensland that is interested in making better use of its
leucaena resources.
