Plant introduction [P.I.] collections grown at the Western Regional Plant Introduction Station [Washington, USA] for preliminary evaluation and seed increase were evaluated for crude protein, crude fiber, tannin, oxalates and readily detectable alkaloids. Sixty-eight Astragalus accessions representing 33 spp. and 1 unidentified accession had a range of 8.2-24.2% crude protein, 11.3-28.6% crude fiber, 4.2-10.0 mg/g tannin, and 0.15-1.10 oxalates. Species with > 18% crude protein and < 28% crude fiber (i.e., comparable to good quality alfalfa (Medicago sativa) hay) and acceptable levels of tannin and oxalate were A. canadensis, P.I. 19978 and A. siliquosus, P.I. 330696. None of the accessions treated gave a positive Dragendorff reagent color test for alkaloids. Some of the species reported are Se accumulators and/or contain toxic nitro-compounds that may be damaging to grazing animals. A. siliquosus is a species that contains nitro-compounds and will accumulate Se.
