Description Beneficial as well as negative effects of phytoestrogens (PEs) on foodstuffs and fodder of plant origin have been studied. In this work, PE levels were examined over 2 years in red clover (Trifolium pratense), zigzag clover (T. medium) and their hybrid, as well as in haylage from two locations in the Czech Republic produced from the first cutting of grass on perennial grass stands. A statistically significant difference in PE content was found between the two species of clover. Plants in the hybrid population contained a statistically inconclusive difference in PE content in comparison with T. pratense and a lesser PE content than T. medium. In high- and low-quality haylage samples, a significantly higher PE content was found in samples from the Závišice location (2011 and 2012 harvest), which may be due to the difference in individual species representations in the fodders at the given locations.
