| Depending on the concentration in which they are fed, condensed tannins (CT) can have various beneficial or detrimental effects on ruminants. In organic farming the anthelmintic effects of CT are of special interest. In an outdoor experiment, the sea-sonal dynamics of the CT concentration of the harvestable biomass was investigated as a function of the biomass allocation to leaves and stems in Onobrychis viciifolia, Lotus corniculatus and Cichorium intybus in the course of a vegetation period in Zu-rich, Switzerland. Such knowledge is indispensable for a practical application of tan-niferous plants in farming systems. In line with our expectations, CT concentrations were higher in leaves than in stems and the leaf fraction of the harvestable biomass... |

| Tanniferous forage plants can have beneficial effects on ruminant productivity and health (improved protein supply, bloat safety and antiparasitic properties). However, condensed tannins can also lower palatability, voluntary feed intake and digestibility. The aim of our interdisciplinary project was to generate basic knowledge on plant management, feed palatability and the antiparasitic properties of tanniferous forage plants for their practical application in agronomy, focusing on their usefulness in controlling gastrointestinal nematodes in organic farming. We found that Onobrychis viciifolia (sainfoin), Lotus corniculatus (birdsfoot trefoil) and Cichorium intybus (chicory) were suitable for cultivation under the given temperate climatic conditions,... |
