The literature about tannins, polyphenolic secondary metabolites of plants, with both
beneficial and adverse function according to their concentration and chemical structure, is …

Plant bioactive compounds (PBC) are widespread in the plant kingdom, including in forage
species, but their impact on silage fermentation and ruminant use of PBC-containing silage …

Currently, feed ingredients containing tannin are attracting more interest as substitutes for
antibiotic growth promoters in animal and poultry feeding. This study investigated the …

BACKGROUND: Tannins added to animal diets may have a positive effect on energy and
protein utilisation in the rumen. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of …

To contribute to the feed supply and help solve the critical livestock feed deficit in Ethiopia;
the DM, CP, NDF, ADF, lignin (sa), ash, non-protein N (NPN); total tannin, total phenol …

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of chestnut tannins (CT) and coconut oil
(CO) on growth performance, methane (CH4) emission, ruminal fermentation, and microbial …

Protein degradation during ensiling is a major problem. Tannins are known to prevent or
decelerate protein degradation in the rumen and may be able to do so in silages as well …

This paper reports effects of chestnut and mimosa tannins on N utilisation in sheep. Tannins
were added to grass either at ensilage or incorporated into grass silage at feeding. The …

Vegetable tannins are water-soluble polyphenolic compounds of varying molecular weights
that occur abundantly in nature. The diet of many free-ranging wild animals contains …

Ensiling has long been as a mainstream technology of preserving forage for ruminant
production. This study investigated the effects of bioaugmented ensiling with laccase and …
