Gas production kinetics and in vitro degradability of tannin-containing legumes, alfalfa and their mixtures
(Elsevier, 2019-06)The aim of this study was to determine in vitro ruminal degradability and gas production kinetics of sainfoin (Onobrichis viciifolia; SF), birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus; BFT), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.; ALF) and ... -
Grazing diverse combinations of tanniferous and nontanniferous legumes: implications for foraging behavior, performance, and hair cortisol in beef cattle
(American Society of Animal Science, 2021-10-17)A diversity of forages with different types and concentrations of nutrients and plant secondary compounds may lead to complementary relationships that enhance cattle performance and welfare. We determined whether grazing ... -
Influence of Forage Diversity and Condensed Tannins on Livestock Foraging Behavior, Production and Environmental Impact
(Utah State University, 2020-08)Eating a combination of forages with different chemistries (i.e., nutrients, beneficial compounds such as tannins) may enhance ruminant nutrition and reduce environmental impacts relative to eating single forages. I explored ... -
Tannin-containing legumes and forage diversity influence foraging behavior, diet digestibility, and nitrogen excretion by lambs
(Oxford University Press, 2019-09)Diverse combinations of forages with different nutrient profiles and plant secondary compounds may improve intake and nutrient utilization by ruminants. We tested the influence of diverse dietary combinations of tannin- ... -
The Use of Temperate Tannin Containing Forage Legumes to Improve Sustainability in Forage–Livestock Production
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)Greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant livestock production systems contribute significantly to the environmental footprint of agriculture. Emissions are lower for feedlot systems than for grass-based systems primarily ...
