• Nutritive value of forage legumes used for grazing and silage (2009, background): “Legumes such as RC, WC and LUC can cause bloat (Majak, Hall and McCaughey, 1995), whilst others, such as sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer), do not (McMahon et al., 2000; Sarkar, Howarth and Goplen, 1976).”
