sainfoin (s®°n'foin) [Fr.,=holy hay], leguminous perennial herb (Onobrychis viciaefolia) of the family Leguminosae (pulse family) indigenous in S Europe and in temperate W Asia. Sainfoin has for centuries been widely cultivated in Europe as a forage crop. Although it was introduced into the United States about 160 years ago, it has never become agriculturally important there. It thrives on calcareous soils too dry or too barren for clover or alfalfa. The plant is sometimes associated with the Christmas story of the Infant Jesus in the manger. Sainfoin is also called esparcet and holy clover. It is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Rosales, family Leguminosae.
MTC Sainfoin seed is superior in that it has a 96% germination rate! As a angus beef cattle producer we have found sainfoin to be an excellent feed for all cattle types. The fact that cattle do not bloat from eating flowered sainfoin plants and that coupled with the fact that you do not have to use fertilizers and very little pesticides makes sainfoin a superior feed to alfalfa in many ways. |

Sainfoins (Onobrychis) are Eurasian perennial herbs that have pale pink flowers and curved pods. O. vicifolia is naturalized in the British Isles and North America grasslands on calcareous soils. The Flora Europaea lists 23 species of Onobrychis. This highly nutritious plant is an important forage crop and source of honey in Britain. This is because the plant is rich in tannins which protect proteins from hydrolysis in the rumen allowing the protein to be absorbed in the abomasum. The plant has a deep taproot and so is very drought-resistant * Flowers: June-September. * Distribution: grassland, cultivated land, waste places in throughout Europe as far north as southern Sweden. * Leaves: pinnate, alternate, 6 to 14 pairs, oblong to linear. |
