Sainfoin

Sainfoin acts as a natural anthelmintic and the condensed tannins this legume contains aids protein absorption thus improving feed conversion efficiency by livestock. Unlike other species, Sainfoin will not cause bloat in livestock and as little as 10% in a sward will offset the risk of bloat created from other legumes. Best suited to light soils, the deep rooting system of Sainfoin provides a drought-resistant forage that requires no nitrogen fertiliser and little phosphate. This legume prefers alkaline soils and although slow to establish, it is a persistent species. Sainfoin also increases biodiversity by attracting an abundance of insects and invertebrates, especially pollinators.
