An alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivar with a low initial rate of digestion (LIRD), AC Grazeland B , was developed to test the hypothesis that the rate of cell rupture was a cause of frothy bloat in cattle or sheep. The amount of cell wall increases and digestibility declines as plants mature. Thus the cell rupture theory also predicts that the bloat potential of alfalfa is related to maturit...

متن کاملThe Role of Proanthocyanidins Complex in Structure and Nutrition Interaction in Alfalfa Forage.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the main forages grown in the world. Alfalfa is a winter hardy, drought tolerant, N-fixing legume with a good longevity, high yield, high nutrient levels, high digestibility, unique structural to non-structural components ratio, high dry matter intake, and high animal productivity per hectare. However, its main limitation is its excessively rapid initial r...
متن کاملBacterial Changes in the Rumen During the Onset of Feed - lot Bloat of Cattle and Characteristics of Peptostreptococcus elsdenii
Slime production by microorganisms in the rumen of cattle and sheep has been advanced as a possible factor in feed-lot bloat by Jacobson and Lindahl (1955), and for frothy legume bloat by Hungate et al. (1955). The slime serves to entrap the fermentation gases and the resulting frothy ingesta blocks the ruminant's gas eructation mechanism. Lindahl et al. (1957) have produced experimental bloat ...
