Diurnal Leaf Starch Content: An Orphan Trait in Forage Legumes
Forage legumes have a relatively high biomass yield and crude protein content, but their grazed and harvested biomass lacks the high-energy carbohydrates required to meet the productivity potential of modern livestock breeds. Because of their low carbohydrate content, forage legume diets are typically supplemented with starch rich cereal grains or maize (Zea mays), leading to the disruption of ...
متن کاملContent of soluble and bound condensed tannins of three tropical herbaceous forage legumes
The soluble, total-bound and ®bre-bound condensed tannins (CT) in Cassia rotundifolia (cassia), Lablab purpureus (lablab) and Macroptilium atropurpureum (siratro) grown in tropical and subtropical regions were determined by the butanol±HCl method. Cassia had the highest total CT content of 29.5 g/kg DM than that of lablab, 16.9 g/kg DM which was intermediate while that of siratro, 12.4 g/kg DM,...
متن کاملGrowth and N Fixation of Some Tropical Forage Legumes as Influenced by Solar Radiation Regimes
Decreased solar radiation due to cloud cover or shading by plantation crops or associatedass can severely limit the production of tropical forage legumes. We therefore evaluated the response of six legumes (three replicated and three not replicated) to four radiation regimes (100, 70, 45, and 27% of unshaded solar radiation, hereafter termed "full sun") with polypropylene netting in the field. ...
متن کاملPerfor. of Summer forage legumes in Pothowar
In the present study morphometric, quantitative and histopathological effects associated with mastitis were recorded in mammary glands of naturally infected buffaloes. The milk samples of 200 buffaloes were subjected to California Mastitis Test to detect mastitis at Faisalabad abattoir. Mastitis was significantly higher in buffaloes having cylindrical and round teats, bowl and round udder shape...
متن کاملPhysiological and Molecular Aspects of Tolerance to Environmental Constraints in Grain and Forage Legumes
Despite the agronomical and environmental advantages of the cultivation of legumes, their production is limited by various environmental constraints such as water or nutrient limitation, frost or heat stress and soil salinity, which may be the result of pedoclimatic conditions, intensive use of agricultural lands, decline in soil fertility and environmental degradation. The development of more ...
