All cows were fed a mixture of cut, fresh kinggrass (Pennisetum hybrid) and buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris). A change-over Latin Square experimental design was used, with two cows per treatment and three 4-week periods (March to June, 1994), each consisting of a 1-week adaptation period and a 3-week comparison period. Treatments only had direct effect on milk acidity, which was higher (P less than or equal to 0,05) for L+C (19 ml NaOH 0,1 N/100 ml) but within the normal range. No residual effects of treatments were detected (P &gt; 0,05) on any of the variables. Unadjusted means were: milk yield, 8,5 kg/cow/day; fat and protein contents, 3,6 and 3,4%, respectively, and density, 1,030. Milk odor and color at the end of comparison periods were not influenced by L. Changes in milk flavor with all treatments were small, not consistent and probably undetectable by consumers without proper training. When compared to C, L yielded economic profit due to lower costs, whereas the additional income obtained with L+C was outwheighed by its higher costs. Leucaena leucocephala was a satisfactory substitute for wet brewers grains, without affecting milk yield and properties.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:A1996WW68500003</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ww685Times Cited:2Cited References Count:23</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morillo, DEFondo Nacl Invest Agropecuarias,Ctr Invest Agropecuarias Estado Zulia,Apartado Postal 1316,Maracaibo,Estado Zulia,VenezuelaFondo Nacl Invest Agropecuarias,Ctr Invest Agropecuarias Estado Zulia,Apartado Postal 1316,Maracaibo,Estado Zulia,Venezuela</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
