G.  aPerformance of a beef cattle production system on native pasture using Leucaena leucocephala as a supplement.  c1991  aA beef cattle system to produce animals at 2.5 years of age, suitable for slaughter or finishing else-where on a high energy ration, was designed. The system used native pasture supplemente with an area of Leucaena leucocephala. The usual situation of liveweight losses during the cool, dry, winter months was reversed. This reversal was caused by the greater nutrient concentrations in the leucaena than in the native pasture. The potential to modifity the system to produce cattle suitable for other beef markets is discussed.  abeef cattle  aGado de Corte  aLeucaena Leucocephala  aPastagem Nativa  aNative pasture  aSuplemento  aSupplement1 aPRINSEN, J.
