Carbon-13 cross-polarization magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS NMR) for measuring proanthocyanidin content and procyanidin to prodelphinidin ratio in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) tissues [PDF]
A procedure based on 13C CPMAS NMR was developed to study procyanidins (PCs) and prodelphinidins (PDs) directly in milled sainfoin plant tissues. Blackcurrant and Tilia samples enabled reference spectra of purified proanthocyanidin (PA) fractions, crude ...

Nutritional enhancement of animal feed and forage crops via genetic modification
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 ...

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 ...

Condensed tannin changes along the digestive tract in lambs fed with sainfoin pellets or hazelnut skins [PDF]
The variable anthelmintic efficacy of condensed tannins (CT) against gastrointestinal nematodes may depend on CT concentration, composition, or fate along the digestive tract.

Species Composition Influences Zinc and Selenium Uptake in Multispecies Grasslands
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.
