Feeding sainfoin to goats – influence on milk and cheese quality and yield [PDF]

, 2012
Although the administration of sainfoin is associated with anthelmintic effects, information on the consequences of feeding this legume on product quality is scarce. In the present study we looked at milk quality and yield of goats fed either sainfoin or

De-novo transcriptome assembly for gene identification, analysis, annotation, and molecular marker discovery in Onobrychis viciifolia [PDF]

, 2016
Background Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a highly nutritious tannin-containing forage legume. In the diet of ruminants sainfoin can have anti-parasitic effects and reduce methane emissions under in vitro conditions.

An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 376-388, December 2025.
An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.

Tanniferous forage plants with anthelmintic properties: the example of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) [PDF]

, 2007
Introduction: Sainfoin is a high-quality condensed tannin containing forage plant. The knowledge about anthelmintic effects against sheep nematodes and about the influence of plant preservation (e.g.

Leveraging high‐dimensional seed colorspace in phenomic selection models for herbaceous perennial crops

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Herbaceous perennial crops, which only recently entered the domestication pipeline, offer the potential of ecological benefits in agricultural systems but remain underdeveloped, partly due to slow breeding cycles. Early‐stage phenomic selection, the process of using high‐dimensional secondary traits to predict target traits, may accelerate ...

In vitro effects of three woody plant and sainfoin extracts on two parasitic stage of 3 parasitic nematode species [PDF]

, 2004
Most studies on the effects of tanniferous plants on nematodes have examined forages but have neglected the woody plants. Therefore, in vitro effects of extracts from 3 woody plants (Rubus fructicosus, Quercus robur, Corylus avellana) have been tested on

Powdery Mildew Epidemics in Grain Legumes and Their Management Strategies

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2529-2562, December 2025.
We review the status of powdery mildew on grain legumes, detection and identification of the pathogens (Erysiphe, Podosphaera and Leveillula spp.), potential management strategies, knowledge gaps and future research priorities. ABSTRACT Grain legumes are an important source of protein, carbohydrates and fibre for humans and animals.

Dual mutualistic associations in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Agronomy at Massey University [PDF]

, 1982
Recent studies established that many legumes, when infected with the appropriate Rhizobium spp. and arbuscular fungi, nodulated better and exhibited greater dinitrogen fixation than plants infected with only the rhizobia.

De novo transcriptome assembly and candidate gene discovery for high seedling vigor in cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.)

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) (CMV) is a perennial, winter hardy forage legume for grazing in the temperate regions of world. Low seed germination and low seedling vigor of this species often reduce stand establishment success, limiting producer adoption.
