Making the Leucaena Tea Mixture

Chop 30 kg of leucaena leaves into small pieces.
Put the chopped material in the sack.
Fill the drum three-quarters full of water (about 120 litres, or 33 gallons).
Tie the sack of leucaena leaves to the pole, and suspend it in the drum. Cover the drum with a plastic sheet and tie it tightly to prevent nitrogen from escaping.
Leave the sack in the water for 14 days to ferment. Stir it every 3 days.
After 14 days, remove the sack from the water. The tea should be used within 5 days of removing the sack.
Dilute the tea with two parts of water for each part of tea.
For a mature cow (350-450 kg), give no more than 2 litres of diluted tea per day. Offer the diluted tea to the animal to drink. If it will not drink, put the liquid in a bottle and force the animal to swallow it.
