Lamb growth on leaf turnips,white clover and pasture in summer

The objective was to compare lamb performance on new pasture and on white clover with that on hybrid leaf turnip to determine factors that caused the variable lamb growth rates on leaf turnips over summer reported in anecdotal farmer evidence.Brassica species can contain secondary compounds that have anti‐nutritive properties.The most common of these compounds are SMCO (S‐methylcysteine sulphoxide) and glucosinolates.SMCO is known to have a haemolytic anaemia effect on animals, and glucosinolates affect thyroid function.
