This paper examines the nutritional and veterinary effects of tannins on ruminants and
makes some comparisons with non-ruminants. Tannin chemistry per se is not covered and …

We contend diets and habitats that allow animals to select among alternatives enable
individuals to better meet needs for nutrients and to better cope with toxins. All plants contain …

Los taninos son un grupo muy diverso de compuestos fenólicos que aparecen en una
amplia variedad de plantas consumidas por los rumiantes. Tradicionalmente se han …

The objective of this study was to compare methane emission by goats consuming the
condensed tannin-containing forage sericea lespedeza (Les-pedeza cuneata) or a mixture …

Targeted livestock grazing is a proven tool for manipulating rangeland vegetation, and
current knowledge about targeted livestock grazing is extensive and expanding rapidly …

▪ Abstract Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) significantly impact the nutritional ecology of
terrestrial vertebrate herbivores. Herbivores have a wide range of mechanisms (herbivore …

Three experiments were conducted in Granadina goats and Segureña wethers fed at
maintenance level to evaluate the effect of including a mixture of barley and a new by …

The objective of this study, which was part of an integrated project to investigate the
antimicrobial effects of dietary tannins on native food borne pathogens in beef cattle, was to …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSM) have many ecological functions, but have long been
considered as defences against pathogens or herbivores (vertebrate or invertebrate) …

For foraging herbivores, both food quality and predation risk vary across the landscape.
Animals should avoid low-quality food patches in favour of high-quality ones, and seek safe …
