The Flavonoids of Lotus corniculatus
Since the first studies published in the fifties and sixties (Nakaoki et al., 1956; Harney and Grant, 1964; Bate-Smith, 1965), many authors have investigated the flavonoid chemistry of Lotus corniculatus (Table 1 and Table 2) and demonstrated the richness and diversity of flavonoid compounds in this species. Some authors have examined the variation with altitude of the flavonoid content of Lotu...
متن کاملEstablishing Birdsfoot Trefoil in the Mountain West
Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) is an underutilized forage legume in the Mountain West. It has several unique characteristics that make it worth considering, particularly for pasture. One of the key reasons to use birdsfoot trefoil is that it does not cause bloat when grazed as green, standing forage, even in pure stands. This is due to the presence of condensed tannins which bind with s...
متن کاملForage Yield and Quality of Chicory, Birdsfoot Trefoil, and Alfalfa During the Establishment Year
As part of a study to evaluate alternative forages for farmed deer, we compared forage yields and quality of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and forage chicory (Cichorium intybus) with that of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in north central Alberta, Canada. Despite similar plant densities among the three species, the foliar cover of chicory averaged 76%, 20% greater than alfalfa and 50% great...
متن کاملInfluence of drought stress on nutritive value of perennial forage legumes
In the next decades, forage legumes are likely to become more important. However, predicted climate change may increase the risk of droughts and thus influence their agricultural performance. Decreases in yield due to water shortage are well documented, while influences on nutritive values are inconsistent. Therefore, we examined the effects of drought on crude protein (CP), neutral deterge...
