Tannins from Albizia lebbek

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of supplements of siris (Albizia lebbeck) flowers and leaves on Merino wethers fed Mitchell grass hay (Astrebla spp.). Three groups, each of 6 sheep, were fed the following diets: hammermilled Mitchell grass hay ad libitum (M); M + 181 g DM/day of siris flowers (MF), and M + 216 g DM/day of siris leaves (ML). The experiment, conducted over 17 days, measured feed intake and digestibility, nitrogen (N) retention, and plasma glucose and urea concentrations. The total DM intakes by MF and ML sheep were significantly (P<0.01) higher than those in M sheep. As a result of the supplement of siris flowers, the digestibility of the MF diet was highest (P<0.01). Sheep fed the M diet showed negative N retention, while MF and ML sheep showed positive N retention. The increased (P<0.01) N retention in the MF and ML sheep was associated with increased (P<0.01) urinary N excretion. The improved nutritional state of MF and ML sheep was associated with increases in plasma glucose and urea concentrations. Environmental temperature, which reached a mean daily maximum of 31.3�C, did not interact with the dietary treatments.

Albizia Lebbek

High temperature, pH, and salt stresses in tropical alkaline soils limit nodulation and dinitrogen fixation by strains of Rhizobium from the root nodules of nitrogen fixing trees (NFTs). This study was conducted to determine the variability among Rhizobium strains isolated from different NFTs in growth response to high temperature, pH, and salt concentrations. Variable response to increases in temperature, pH, and salt concentrations was observed. Rhizobium strain isolated from Albizia lebbek survived at 50 °C, while Rhizobium strains isolated from Sesbania formosa, Acacia farnesiana, and Dalbergia sissoo were well adapted to grow on pH 12.0. All the Rhizobium strains tolerated salt concentrations up to 5.0%. Strains were further characterized with respect to utilization of 27 carbon sources and for their effectiveness in substrate utilization at pH 7.0 and 9.0. Generally higher rates of O2 consumption were observed at pH 7.0 compared with pH 9.0.Key words: Rhizobium, leguminous trees, root nodules, stress tolerance.
