Non-ammonia nitrogen (NAN) passage to the small intestine and disappearance of NAN in that organ have been studied in multi-cannulated sheep on pasture or fed indoors. Forages under investigation included a number of subtropical grasses, foggages and hay, temperate grasses, lucerne (Medicago sativa), triticale (Triticale X Secale), oven-dried ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), and the tannin-contai...

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) are of interest to ameliorate the sustainability of livestock production. However, sainfoin forage yield and PA concentrations, as well as their composition, require optimization. Individual plants of 27 sainfoin accessions from four continents were analyzed with LC-ESI-QqQ-MS/MS for PA concentrations and simple phenolic compound...

Forage crops cultivation area in Turkey is 2.312 million ha 2020. The rate of forage the total agricultural 6.1%, and its field land 12.3%. Lucerne, silage corn, oat, vetch, sainfoin are main Turkey. amount produced 16.8 tons hay 48.8 thousand seeds. crop areas have increased by 206% since beginning 2000s due to government subsidies. However, shortage quality roughage still a big problem for an...

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. Syn. Onobrychis sativa L.) is a bloat-safe forage crop with high levels of tannins, which is renowned for its medicinal qualities in grazing animals. Mutagenesis technique was applied to investigate the influence of gamma irradiation at 30, 60, 90, and 120 Gy on mitotic behavior, in vitro growth factors, phytochemical and nutritional constituents of sainfoi...

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, degradability and nutritive value of madder, Rubia tinctorum L.  and alfalfa Medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements. The mean values for OM, CP, NDF, ADF and EE were 892.5, 172.0, 306.5, 219.4 and 16.0 g/kg DM for madder hay, and 921.3, 141.4, 482.0, 361.1 and 6.50 g/kg DM for alfalfa hay, respectiv...

this experiment was carried out the aim of the effect of sainfoin forage and forage:concentrate ratios on feed intake, nitrogen balance,ruminal biohydrogenation and milk fatty acid profile in dairy ewes using of eight lori breed ewes according to a replicated 4 × 4 latin square design. treatments were adjusted from one to four according to forage:concentrate ratios of 35:65 with and without sai...

Ewes fed sainfoin (a source of condensed tannins “CT”) may influence the homeostasis gastrointestinal tract suckling lambs. This study investigated effects CT from in maternal diet on plasma fructosamine, faecal coccidian excretion, and gene expression immune antioxidant markers jejunum ileum Twelve Rasa Aragonesa lambs with their dams were selected. The was based fresh (SAINFOIN, n = 6) + poly...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of sainfoin (onobrychis viciifolia) as tannin source and different level of forage: concentrate ratio on digestibility, blood parameters, ruminal fermentation, milk yield and milk composition in milking ewes. therefore, eight lori milking ewes were alocated to factorial experiment base on the 4×4 replicated latin square design. four total mix...

Biological Nitrogen fixation is one of the two sources of nitrogen (N). Most nitrogen fixation in agriculture takes place in the Fabaceae family which can form symbiotic relationships with Rhizobium spp. if it is present in the soil. This study reexamines the effect that nitrogen (N) application has on nodulation number on the rooting zone of two small seeded legumes, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L...
