“…In addition, the duration of experimental period also need to be considered. Present trial was relatively short, lasting for 90 days while acute parasitic infections may become more severe in course of time (Lima et al, 2019). The differences in results observed in various reports might be due to the varying chemical nature of different tannins, amount of condensed tannins and distinct mechanism of action on parasites.…”

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of inclusion of different locally available tree barks in total mixed ration on serum biochemical profile and parasitic load in Nellore ram lambs. A ninety day growth trail was conducted with twenty eight Nellore Jodipi ram lambs (13.72 ± 0.05 kg B.Wt) which were randomly (CRD) allotted to four treatment groups with seven animals per treatment and were fed total mixed ration T1 (control), T2 (10% Neem bark), T3 (10% tamarind bark), T4 (10% Acacia bark). All the four total mixed rations were iso-nitrogenous. Feed intake was recorded daily while, body weights were recorded at weekly intervals. Blood samples were collected early in the morning at day 0 and 90 of the study. Faecal samples were collected early in the morning at fort -nightly interval. Serum biochemical profile of ram lambs at the beginning of the experiment indicated non-significant (P > 0.05) difference for serum glucose, total protein, globulin, ALT, AST and ALT: AST, cholesterol, triglycerides except for albumin (P<0.05). Serum biochemical profile at the end of the experiment revealed non-significant (P > 0.05) difference for serum glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, ALT, AST and ALT: AST, but the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides significantly (P< 0.05) reduced in the treatment groups supplemented with different tree barks when compared to control group. There was no significant (P > 0.05) difference in the faecal egg count of ram lambs fed total mixed rations containing different tree barks at 10% level when compared with control group throughout the experimental period. The egg count is reduced towards at the end of the experiment in the treatment groups supplemented with different tree barks. While, the egg count is increased towards the end of the experiment in control group. Addition of different tree barks in the diet didn't have negative impact overall health status of the animal.

“…Supplementary feeding of CT from A. mearnsii has been shown to reduce methane emission in cows and sheep [2,3,32]. However, this reduction was not observed in sheep infected with T. colubriformis and H. contortus [60]. Acacia mearnsii supplementation also affected the structure of the ruminal microbial community, modulating important microbe groups affected by GIN infection in lambs [25].…”

Use of agro-industrial by-products containing tannins for the integrated control of gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants

Previous studies have illustrated that different bioactive legume fodders containing condensed tannins might represent one of the options for integrated sustainable control of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in ruminants, which may help address the worldwide development of resistance to synthetic anthelmintics. More recently, impetus has been given to assess the potential antiparasitic activity of less conventional resources, represented by different agro-industrial by-products (AIBPs). This review presents in vitro and in vivo results obtained with a range of tannin-containing AIBPs of various geographical and botanical origins, namely AIBP of nuts, temperate and tropical barks, carob, coffee and cocoa. They tend to confirm the “proof of concept” for their antiparasitic effects and also for other aspects of ruminant production in an agro-ecological context. Socio-economic aspects of the exploitation of such non-conventional resources are also discussed as potential models of the circular economy, by using waste. The different modes of use of these resources are presented in this review, as well as strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analyses to illustrate the advantages and limitations of on-farm use.

“…is their inclusion in animal feed. Several studies used commercial tannin-rich extract obtained from A. mearnsii bark and highlighted its effect as a methane-mitigating agent for dairy cows [35]; in decreasing the urinary excretion of urea in sheep [39]; in reducing the urinary nitrogene excretion and improving the amino acids supply in Holstein steers without significantly affecting the total organic matter digestibility [36]; or as anthelmintic agents in sheep artificially infected with parasites Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Haemonchus contortus [37]. However, precautions must be taken and further research must be developed, since reducing effects on in vivo nutrient digestibility and/or negative impacts on energy intake were observed in sheep and wethers [40,41].…”

Acacia spp. are widespread all over the Portuguese territory, representing a threat to local biodiversity and to the productivity of the forest sector. The measures adopted in some countries for their eradication or to control their propagation are expensive, have been considered unfeasible from practical and economical perspectives, and have generated large amounts of residue that must be valorized in a sustainable way. This review brings together information on the valorization of bark, wood, leaves, flowers, pods, seeds, roots, and exudates from Acacia spp., through the production of high-value bioactive extracts (e.g., antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiviral, anthelmintic, or pesticidal agents, suitable to be explored by pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, and food and feed industries), its incorporation in innovative materials (e.g., polymers and composites, nanomaterials, low-cost adsorbents), as well as through the application of advanced thermochemical processes (e.g., flash pyrolysis) and pre-treatments to decompose biomass in its structural components, regarding the production of biofuels along with valuable chemicals derived from cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The knowledge of this research is important to encourage an efficient and sustainable valorization of Acacia spp. within a biorefinery concept, which can bring a significant economic return from the valorization of these residues, simultaneously contributing to forest cleaning and management, to reduce the risk of fires, and to improve the social-economic development of rural areas.
