Özet
Background and aim: The use of quality forages in animal nutrition makes great contribution to increase in animal products both in quantity and quality. Macromineral content is an important factor affecting
the quality of forages, and the contents in forages can vary due to many factors. Seasonal variation is one of
the among the factors, and the study was held to reveal the effect of spring and autumn seasons cuttings on
macromineral contents of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) which is one of the important and mostly cultivated perennial legume forage species in Turkey. Methods: For this reason; a field experiment was conducted
according to randomized blocks design with three replications in the research area of GAP International Agricultural Research and Training Center (GAP IARTC) Diyarbakir, Turkey. Results: The study results showed
that there were highly significant differences (P<0.01) between the forage harvesting seasons in terms all of
the examined traits, and calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P) contents forages
of sainfoin genotypes in autumn season were found lower than those of in the spring season cutting. Furthermore, the following ranges determined in the examined traits; Ca content 10.22–12.46 g kg-1 DM, K content
25.41– 37.16 g kg-1 DM, Mg content 1.00–1.61 g kg-1 DM, P content 1.99–3.22 DM g kg-1 DM, Ca/P ratio
3.59–5.79 and K/(Ca+Mg) (tetany) ratio 1.98–2.86. On the other hand, both biplot and correlation analysis
showed that there was highly significant and positive relationship among Ca, Mg contents, Ca/P ratio traits.
However, there was negative relationship between the three traits and P content, K/(Ca+Mg) (tetany) ratio
traits. In addition, there was highly significant (P<0.01) but negative relationship between P content and K
content traits in sainfoin genotypes. Conclusions: By taking into to all of the examined traits together, biplot
analysis revealed that Lütfibey and Peschanjy-1251 cultivars came to fore in spring season cutting, while CTC
Population and Ozerbey-03 cultivars came to fore in autumn season cutting. Also, sainfoin forage obtained in
spring season cutting was found richer in terms of Ca, Mg, P and K contents, but due to higher K/(Ca+Mg)
(tetany) ratio of the spring season, animal feed with the spring season sainfoin forage may be more susceptible
to catching grass tetany incidence especially for dairy cows. To avoid risk of the incidence, the feeds having
more Mg content and lower K content should be taken place in the animal rations.
