Abstract:
Gland clover (Trifolium glanduliferum) is a new clover species to Australia. The plant contains coumarin, which, during mould-induced spoilage, is converted to dicoumarol. High intakes of dicoumarol inhibit blood clotting and may affect meat flavour (Blood et al. 1985). This experiment evaluated the effects of gland clover consumption on production and meat quality of hogget sheep
