M.  aPlasma and meat hormones and metabolites of lambs grazing high-formononetin red clover.  c2001  aThe objective of this study was to investigate plasma metabolite and hormone concentrations, and the residual levels of equol in meat, of lambs grazing two varieties of red clover differing in their formononetin contents, compared to control animals grazing grass. Despite several effects of forage type on plasma metabolite and hormone concentrations, and an effect of clover formononetin on teat growth in lambs of both sexes, there was no carry-over of equol into the meat of lambs finished on red clover with either a high or low formononetin content. Equol is rapidly excreted from the body, and was probably reduced to the undetectable levels during the time that animals were starved and transported for slaughter  aLamb meat  aSheep1 aFRASER, M.
