Dueto theactionofo-quinones formedviapolyphenoloxidase, conserved red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) contains abundant rumen undegradable protein (RUP), but inadequate rumen degradable protein (RDP) fordairy cattle. This studyexaminedhowforagemanagement influences RDP, RUP, crude protein (CP) and fiber fractions in red clover silage and dry matter (DM) yields during the first full production ye...

Experiments were focused on differences in the ripening of crimson clover (Trifoliumincarnatum L.) and red (Trifolium pratense influence pre-harvest treatment with desiccants. The drying leaves, stems heads during ripening, regrowing, breakdown yield parameters including seed compared. exhibited natural faster than clover. In clover, before harvest was 80 - 100%, 50– 95%, 100 %, respectively. 2...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L. ) is a perennial plant of the legume family (Fabaceae). It grown both in pure culture and crops with grasses. This study aims to assess yield red for hay (two cuttings) pasture (four slopes) use soil climatic conditions Western region Ukraine. The subject four breeding numbers created by hybridization selection methods. placement variants systematic sequential ...

Current red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) breeding methods for quantitative traits consist almost entirely of recurrent phenotypic selection. In many species, improved cultivars have been achieved through hybrid breeding methods, especially for highly nonadditive traits. Hybrid methods have previously been studied and developed in red clover; inbreeding depression was a hindrance to the utilit...

Extensive proteolysis during fermentation of highprotein legumes reduces dietary N-use efficiency in ruminants. Research has demonstrated that enhancing the level of fermentable carbohydrates in crops entering the silo may reduce protein degradation by increasing the rate of decline in pH. The objective was to evaluate whether delaying cutting time during the day, to allow accumulation of total...

Previous studies have suggested that phenolics from legume green manures may contribute to weed control through allelopathy. The objective of this study was to determine how decomposition of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) residue affects phytotoxicity to a weed species, wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.). Red clover (1.25 g), 30 g acid washed sand, and 5 ml of microbial inoculant were incub...

Protein in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), a forage that does not contain condensed tannins, has been found to be degraded less extensively in the rumen than the protein in other non-tannin legumes. The objective of this study was to determine if there are genetic differences in rumen degradability of the protein in red clover forage. Field grown forage was harvested from 133 red clover ent...
