Abstract

Leaf-petiole samples of Gliricia sepium, Albizia lebbeck, Centrosema plumieri, Desmodium scorpiurus, and Galactia striata were collected at milk cattle ranges having an average annual load of 0,8 animals/ha approximately during dry season. The overall area was located at 21º 23' N and 78º, 59' W latitudes. Phytochemical analysis revealed phenols, flavones, and steroids in A. lebbeck and D. Scorpiurus, while saponins were also detected in G. Sepium, C. Plumieri and G. Striata; however, no alkaloids were found in any species. Phenol, flavone and steroid concentrations, taking G. Sepium as a unity, were highly significant (P< 0,01) in arboreal legumes.
