The effect of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) hay consumption on the pathophysiology and local cellular responses of growing lambs during infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis was investigated. Thirty-two lambs, 16 weeks of age, were allocated to 1 of 4 treatment groups (n=8) that were offered either grass (G) or sainfoin (S) hay while concurrently either infected (+), or not (-) with ...

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...

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...

Sainfoin is a highly nutritious non-bloating leguminous forage crop of temperate regions. Despite properties, its use in pastures was limited due to low dry matter yield (DMY), lack persistence the mixed pasture, and slow regrowth. The paradigm then shifted when new sainfoin cultivars planted mixtures with alfalfa reduced 98% bloat incidence ruminants. Two experiments were conducted determine c...

Anthelmintic bioactivity against gastrointestinal nematodes has been associated with leguminous forages supporting the hypothesis of a role of condensed tannins. However, the possibility that other compounds might also been involved has received less consideration. Using bio-guided fractionation, the current study aimed at characterizing the biochemical nature of the active compounds present in...

Experimental data were obtained on the effect of feeding a phytonutrient based Hungarian sainfoin biochemical, hematological parameters blood, natural resistance and dynamics live weight heifers. As result sainfoin, blood heifers experimental groups higher than those control group. There was also better development compared to

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...

Due to the high prevalence of anthelmintic resistance in goats, the need to explore novel approaches to control nematodes and to reduce the exclusive reliance on chemotherapy is strongly demanded in this host species. In sheep, several studies have shown that the consumption of tannin-rich legume forages was associated with positive effects on host resilience and resistance to parasite infectio...

The effects of condensed tannins (CT) extracted from seven forages on the motility of the economically important nematode, Trichostrongylus colubriformis (Giles, 1892), were evaluated by using a larval migration inhibition (LMI) assay. The assay involved incubation of third stage (L3) exsheathed T. colubriformis larvae with CT extracted from Lotus pedunculatus, Lotus corniculatus, sulla (Hedysa...

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...
