Abstract: Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a perennial forage legume with good palatability, strong nitrogen fixation ability, abundant nutrition and rich condensed tannins. Its unique antiparasitic activity not only has a good control effect on animal and plant parasitic diseases, but also plays obvious roles in improving animal production performance and preventing the occurrence of other diseases. Sainfoin is an important forage species for the sustainable development of modern agriculture and animal husbandry, and has broad application prospects. A detailed review of the research progress in antiparasitic activity of sainfoin is provided in this paper, in hoping to provide references for the investigations on sainfoin.

Key words: sainfoin, tannin, antiparasitic activity
