Hay is the result of the cutting, drying and storage of long stem plants, such as various grass or legume species. Grass species include timothy, orchardgrass, ryegrass, fescue, brome and bluegrass;... legume species includes alfalfa(lucerne), clover and birdsfoot trefoil.... grass hay provides sufficient protein to all classes of horse shown except for growing horses and lactating mares.... If protein intake from hay is not being met, one could simply provide more hay, a higher protein hay(some legume, if only grass hay is being offered) or offer another high-protein source such as soybean meal.

  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)

CONT

Le foin est composé principalement de plantes fourragères de la famille des graminées et des légumineuses. Parmi les graminées, on retrouve la fléole (ou mil), le brome, le dactyle, alors que les principales légumineuses sont la luzerne et le trèfle. La production de foin sec à haut contenu en légumineuse est complexe au niveau du séchage et de la conservation. Le foin de graminées ou à prédominance de graminées est plus facile à récolter et à sécher et il est bien adapté pour les chevaux.

Record 4 2016-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Diseases
  • Forage Crops
DEF

A fungal disease of grass seed, especially tall fescue and perennial ryegrass, that reduces seed germination.

CONT

Blind seed disease, caused by Gloeotinia temulenta, can cause considerable losses in forage grasses managed for seed production. ... The fungus infects the developing embryo, which then becomes a partially shrunken, rusty-brown caryopsis (small, dry fruit) rather than a healthy seed. Infected seeds are indistinguishable from healthy seeds, but they can be detected when glumes are removed. The fungus survives in infected seeds in the soil and reproduces above-ground in the developing grass floret. The spores are wind-blown and gain entry to an open floret just below the stigma, completing the primary infection. The fungus destroys the embryo, preventing seed formation and producing the typical "blind seed."
