Forage use of Egyptian clover

Trifolium alexandrinum L.

Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) is a high-protein annual legume characterized by a rapid regrowth rate after mowing and safety during grazing, eliminating the risk of bloat in livestock.

In the reference 22 varieties crop Egyptian clover, where this is mentioned in the description.

The crop possesses high forage plasticity and the ability to produce multiple cuts per season, which depends on the cultivar type: multi-cut varieties with a low growing point are better suited for intensive use, whereas single-cut varieties have limited regrowth potential.

Berseem green mass contains up to 20% crude protein in dry matter and has high digestibility. The crop is suitable for haylage, silage, and grass meal production; however, it is most effectively used as a source of fresh forage, requiring mowing at the beginning of the flowering phase to maintain vegetation rates.
