摘要

Acacia saligna (Labill.) is a widely used ornamental tree recognized for its economic as forage and environmental benefits. This investigation was carried out to measure the contents of several chemical elements in A. saligna phyllodes, using neutron activation analysis. Results reveal that A. saligna had substantial levels of Ca, K, Na, and Fe. The levels of potentially toxic elements such as As, Br, and Sb were below DTLs and within safe limits. The majority of essential elements were adequate to meet the daily requirements of livestock. These findings suggest that A. saligna can support the basic nutrient needs of ruminants.
