The effects of supplementing a tropical, low-quality grass hay (Brachiaria dictyoneura) with legume foliage (Cratylia argentea) or fruits of the multipurpose tree Sapindus saponaria on ruminal fermentation, methane release and nitrogen (N) utilization were evaluated. Six Swiss White Hill lambs we...

Ruminal fermentation, methanogenesis and nitrogen utilization of sheep receiving tropical grass hay-concentrate diets offered with Sapindus saponaria fruits and Cratylia argentea foliage
We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of concentration and astringency of extractable and bound condensed tannins (CT) in tropical legumes on intake, digestibility, and nitrogen (N) utilization by sheep. The test legumes (Desmodium ovalifolium and Flemingia macrophylla) had similar ...

Reduction of tannin level in a tropical legume (Desmodium ovalifolium) with polyethylene glycol (PEG): Effects on intake and N balance digestion and absorption by sheep
Six adult African-type hair sheep (BW = 40.3 +/- 6.3 kg) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were subjected to four treatments. Sheep were offered basal diets at a rate of 80 g of DM/kg of metabolic BW (equivalent to ad libitum access) consisting either of a low-quality grass hay (Brachiari...

A feeding trial with sheep was carried out at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) in Colombia to investigate the concept of using mixtures of sun-dried tropical shrub legumes to dilute tannin levels in the diet and improve nitrogen (N) utilisation by ruminants. Intake, digesti...
