Influence des substances polyphenoliques sur la valeur nutritive des fourrages ligneux: Synthese de recherches menees par le CIPEA
We described the effects of two East African browses, Acacia brevispica and Sesbania sesban, on nitrogen metabolism of sheep and goats. The A. brevispica had a substantial amount of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins); S. sesban did not. The browses were fed at three levels in combination with ...
