“…In the current study, HCT was unaffected by the dietary treatments. This is in agreement with the findings of Solaiman et al (2010), who reported no differences in HCT values when goats consumed various levels of tannin-rich Sericea lespedeza diets. This implies that RBC production was adequate, and there was no loss or breakdown of the cells.…”

“…As indicated by Belewu and Ojo-Alokomaro (2007), indigenous goats possess a protective system that provides a rapid potent defence against infectious agents. The insignificant RBC values obtained in this study were similar to the findings of Solaiman et al (2010), who reported no differences in RBC numbers when Kiko crossbred male kids were fed a Sericea lespedeza diet containing varying levels of CT. Red blood cell indices help in the characterization of anaemia. Thus, the RBC values obtained in the current study indicate the absence of haemolytic anaemia and depression of erythrogenesis (Olafadehan et al, 2011).…”

“…This observation might be associated with efficient protein utilization by goats fed higher V. karroo leaf meal (Makkar, 1993). Solaiman et al (2010) reported an increase in daily weight gain of goats fed Sericea lespedeza by 2.22% CT, compared with those that consumed 0.72 CT and 1.46 CT contents, respectively.…”

Vachellia karroo (Acacia karroo) is promising fodder for goats in the critical dry season in communal rangelands. The only limitation to the use of this fodder tree is the presence of phenolic compounds, such as condensed tannins. A study was conducted to investigate the effects of tanniniferous V. karroo leaf meal feeding on blood profiles of indigenous Pedi goats fed a basal diet of Setaria verticillata grass hay. Twenty indigenous Pedi goats, weighing 18 ± 2 kg, were allocated in a completely randomized design to five dietary treatments containing V. karroo leaf meal at 20% (S 80 A 20 ), 25% (S 75 A 25 ), 30% (S 70 A 30 ), 40% (S 60 A 40 ) and 50% (S 50 A 50 ) of the total diet in a 22-day trial. Twelve ml of blood were collected from the jugular vein from each goat before and after the experiment for haematological and serum biochemical assays. Daily dry matter intake (DMI) was similar across treatments, ranging from 633 g to 765 g per goat per day. There was no difference in initial and final bodyweights of goats consuming various experimental diets. However, bodyweight gains were significantly higher in goats fed a diet with 50% leaf meal as compared with other treatment groups. There were no differences in haematological indices of Pedi goats except for mean corpuscular haemoglobin (Hb) concentration. Goats fed 50% leaf meal had significantly lower mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) values as compared with other treatment groups. Similarly, there were no differences in the blood serum chemistry of goats that consumed various inclusion levels of V. karroo, except for serum total protein (TP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Goats fed 50% leaf meal had depressed serum TP, while serum enzyme Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentration decreased significantly in goats fed 25% leaf meal as compared with those on the 20% dietary treatment. Tannin concentration of 8.2 g/kg dry matter (DM) had no toxic effect on experimental animals. A 40 % inclusion of V. karroo in a Setaria verticillata hay-based diet may be fed to indigenous Pedi goats without compromising the immunity system and health of the animals. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…El consumo de MS no fue afectado por los tratamientos (p > 0.20), resultado esperado; ya que se ha sugerido que niveles de taninos inferiores al 3 % de la MS de la dieta no afectan el consumo voluntario de los rumiantes (Bengaly et al, 2007); y que se requieren niveles de taninos superiores al 4 % de la MS, para hacer evidente una disminución en el consumo de alimento (Solaiman et al, 2010). Ante la ausencia de efecto de los taninos en el consumo de MS, la conversión alimenticia (Consumo/ganancia) mostró un comportamiento similar al que se observó en la ganancia de peso.…”

RESUMENPara determinar el efecto del nivel suplementario de extracto de taninos (ET) en la respuesta productiva de corderos en engorda, se realizó un experimento con un diseño de bloques completos al azar, en el que se usaron 48 corderos de pelo (3/4 Katahdin x 1/4 Pelibuey) con una edad promedio de 70 ± (desviación estándar) 5 d de edad DE y peso de 21.3 ± 3.23 kg DE durante un periodo de 70 días. Los tratamientos fueron: 1) Dieta formulada con grano de maíz, harina de soya y paja de maíz, con aporte nutrimental de acuerdo a la etapa fisiológica, sin adición de ET (testigo; n = 12); 2) dieta testigo más 0.15 % de ET (ET 15; n = 12); 3) dieta testigo más 0.30 % de ET (ET 30; n = 12) y 4) dieta testigo más 0.45 % de ET (ET 45; n = 12). Los resultados fueron analizados por ANDEVA (P ≤ 0.05), y la influencia del nivel de ET en la respuesta productiva se exploró mediante polinomios ortogonales. La ganancia diaria de peso (GDP) y la conversión alimenticia (CA) mejoraron (P ≤ 0.05) con la inclusión de 0.15 y 0.30 % de ET en la dieta, y el peso final fue mayor (P = 0.05) en los corderos que consumieron la dieta con 0.15 % de ET. Se observó una respuesta cuadrática (P ≤ 0.05) al nivel de adición de ET; el análisis de regresión sugiere que la mejor respuesta productiva puede obtenerse con niveles de 0.2 % de ET en la dieta (R 2 = 0.75; P < 0.01). Se concluye, que el consumo de dietas suplementadas con ET mejora la GDP y la CA, y la mejor respuesta se obtiene con 0.2 % de ET en la dieta. Palabras clave: Desempeño productivo, cordero, taninos. ABSTRACTTo determine the effect of supplementation tannin extract level (TE) on feedlot performance finishing hair lamb, was realized one experiment with a randomized complete block design, in that were used 48 hair lamb (3/4 Katahdin x 1/4 Pelibuey) with average 70 ± (standard deviation) 5 d old SD and an body weight of 21.3 ± 3.23 kg SD during a period of 70 day. The treatments were: 1) diet formulated with corn grain, soybean meal and corn straw, with nutritional support according physiology requirement, without addition of TE (Control; n = 12); 2) control diet plus supplementation with 0.15 % of TE (TE 15; n = 12); 3) control diet plus 0.3% of TE (TE 30; n = 12); and 4) control diet plus 0.45 % of TE (TE 45; n = 12). Results were analyzed by ANOVA (P ≤ 0.05), and the influence of TE level on productive response was explored using polynomial contrasts. Average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion (feed/gain ratio) was improved (P ≤ 0.05) with the diet supplemented with 0.15 and 0.30% of TE, and body weight last was higher (P = 0.05) in the lamb feeding with supplemented diets 0.15% TE. Quadratic response was observed (P ≤ 0.05) to the TE supplementation level; the regression analyses suggest that better productive response may be found with TE 0.2% supplementation level (R 2 = 0.75; P < 0.01). It is concluded, that intake of supplemented diets

“…On other hand, feed intake increases when the level of CT was lower (WAGHORN et al, 1994). Puchala et al (2005) and Solaiman et al (2010) found that forage lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) with 2.2% and 17% CT respectively, fed to goats increased DMI in relation to those fed alfalfa hay diet. The present experimental diets contained only 0.9% CT (11.9 eq.…”

Research is never the effort of a single individual and it is a team work and many have put their effort in several ways to bring this thesis to completion. and degraded neutral detergent fiber (DNDF), especially LL, which had most influence on these parameters compared to other tannin containing plants. LL had positive response on antimethanogenic effects; its nutrient degradability was higher than that of other tannin containing plants. The second study (Expt. 2) was set to evaluate the effect of different organic extracts from the whole plant methanolic extract (MHE) of LL on in vitro gas production and to characterize the chemical constituents by using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Major abundant compounds present at the relative percentages of MHE were found to be stigmasterol trimethyl ester (TMS), neophytadiene, palmitic acid TMS, α-Linolenic acid TMS and 2, 3, 5, 6-tetra methyl anisylbenzene. The effects of additions of different extracts in terms of nutrient degradability (TDOM and DNDF) were increased by all extracts. This study explained that the methanolic hexane extract and methanolic chloroform extract was effective against methanogenic activity. The objective of the third study (Expt. 3) was to study the effect of LL plant leaves on rumen fermentation, apparent nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance and methane production in Santa Ines sheep. The animals were divided in three groups in which they were fed with (i) 88% Tifton 85-hay (Cynodon spp.) and 12% soyabean meal (Control group, n=4); (ii) 28% Tifton 85-hay (Cynodon spp.) and 72% LL plus 20 ml solution containing 10g/day/animal of PEG (With PEG group -WPEG, n=6); (iii) 28% Tifton 85-hay (Cynodon spp.) and 72% LL plus 20 ml of distilled water (without PEG group-WOPEG, n=6). Nutrient intake (dry matter, organic matter, acid detergent fiber, lignin and crude protein) were higher in WPEG and WOPEG compared to the control group, except neutral detergent fiber intake. Apparent digestibilities and nitrogen metabolism had non-significant effects between the treatments. However, CH4 emissions were significantly lower in WPEG and WOPEG than the control. Furthermore, expressions of microbial populations of methanogens in WPEG had lower tendency than that of WOPEG and control. The most salient findings of this study were that, 72% LL plant leaves using in small ruminants diets increased animal productivity, we can get more benefits in terms of replacing the source of protein in the...
