Can strategic integration of cultivated pasture legumes into temperate agricultural systems provide stability to honey bee populations and associated industries?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 603-620, May 2025.
Humans and honey bees have a long history of interaction to yield valued products and services. However, honey bees are under pressure from changes in vegetation, agricultural practices and climate change. We investigate if pasture legumes can be harnessed to support honey bees. We use a diverse set of species that originated from the Mediterranean and

Nutritional enhancement of animal feed and forage crops via genetic modification

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 327-342, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Introducing beneficial productivity and nutritional traits into food, feed and forage crops utilising the tools of biotechnology can lead to improvements via genetic modification that cannot be achieved by traditional plant breeding. The timelines and costs are significant, and the regulatory hurdles can lead to some promising traits failing ...

In Vivo Reductions in Methane and Urinary Nitrogen by Perennial Non‐Bloating Temperate Legume and Forb Functional Forages Produced in the Mountain West United States

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, April-June 2025.
ABSTRACT Ruminant livestock production is the greatest source of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) production, largely due to enteric methane (CH4) emissions. While the optimised feed rations used in confinement dairy and beef finishing operations can reduce CH4 emissions of individual animals compared with cattle on forage diets, the profitability of ...

Nitrogen Fixation and Resource Partitioning in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), Cicer Milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) and Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) Using ¹⁵N Enrichment under Controlled Environment Conditions

Agronomy, 2020
Availability of nitrogen (N) limits pasture production. Inclusion of legumes into grass pastures can provide an alternative N source through biological N2 fixation (BNF), and enhance retention and cycling of soil C and N.

Metabolism of soluble proteins by rumen microorganisms and the influence of condensed tannins on nitrogen solubility and degradation [PDF]

, 2004
The amino acid requirements of ruminants are met by two sources; microbes leaving the rumen and dietary protein escaping fermentation in the rumen. Much ruminant research has therefore focused on improving amino acid supply to the duodenum by increasing ...

Species Composition Influences Zinc and Selenium Uptake in Multispecies Grasslands

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, April-June 2025.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess and analyse the effect of species richness on zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) uptake and concentrations in grasslands while investigating the potential role of grass species in facilitating their uptake in mixtures. We conducted a grassland experiment at both pot and field scales.
