“…Moore et al (2008) reported that feeding SL hay can reduce FEC and increase performance of goats compared with Bermuda grass (BG) hay. The effect of reduced GIN infection levels in kids fed SL hay confirms the reports with sheep and goats fed this forage in different dried forms (Shaik et al 2006;Lange et al 2006).…”

“…observed that CT extracts from various tree leaves can disrupt the life cycle of H. contortus by preventing their eggs from hatching and larval development to the infective stage and by direct killing of adult H. contortus. Shaik et al (2006) reported a predominantly direct effect of SL hay on GIN in goats with approximately 70 % less adult H. contortus compared with animals fed BG hay. Lange et al (2006) suggested that the effect of SL hay feeding on GIN in sheep was a combination of reduced fecundity and direct killing of the worms.…”

“…Reduced FEC have been attributed to both direct (reduced fecundity, killing of adult worms; Shaik et al 2006) and indirect, the dietary supplementation of CT improved immune function against GIN through enhanced tissue protein supply (higher absorption of amino acid; AA) that is required for repair and immune response (Niezen et al 2002). observed that CT extracts from various tree leaves can disrupt the life cycle of H. contortus by preventing their eggs from hatching and larval development to the infective stage and by direct killing of adult H. contortus.…”

The study was carried out to assess the effect of condensed tannins (CT) supplementation through leaf meal mixture (LMM) on feed intake, humoral [Immunoglobulin G (IgG)], cell mediated immune response (CMI) and faecal egg counts in Haemonchus contortus infected sheep. Eighteen sheep were randomly divided into three groups (negative control-NC, infected control-C and Infected treatment-T) of six animals in each group in a completely randomized block design for a period of 90 days. Twelve H. contortus infected adult sheep were allocated into two equal groups C and T, supplemented with 0 and 1.5 % of CT, respectively. Six non-infected sheep of similar age and body weight of NC group were included in this study to compare their immune response with H. contortus C and CT supplemented T groups. Intake of dry matter and organic matter (g day -1 and % live weight) was statistically similar (P \ 0.05) among the three groups. The anti-Haemonchus IgG and CMI response was higher in T group as compared to C group. The mean faecal egg counts was significantly (P \ 0.001) higher in C group as compared to T group. It may be concluded that dietary supplementation of CT (1.5 %) through LMM improved humoral and CMI immune response and decreased worm load in H. contortus infected sheep.

“…Quijada et al (2015) demonstrated that CT composed predominately of prodelphinidin subunits had greater anthelmintic activity than those composed predominantly of procyanidin. This may explain why L. cuneata, a forage that produces CT composed predominately of prodelphinidin subunits (Naumann et al, 2015b), has demonstrated high anthelmintic efficacy in vivo (Shaik et al, 2006;Terrill et al, 2007;Terrill et al, 2009). Similar findings have been reported with cattle parasites.…”

The role of condensed tannins in ruminant animal production: advances, limitations and future directions

-Tannins represent one of the most abundant polyphenolic compounds in plants. Tannins exist as a multitude of chemically unique entities in nature. The most commonly occurring tannins are typically divided into two major classes based on chemical structure: hydrolysable (HT) or condensed tannins (CT). Hydrolysable tannins are esters of gallic or ellagic acid linked to a polyol core, typically glucose. Condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins consist of flavan-3-ol subunits linked together to form oligomers and polymers. Both HT and CT are defined as astringent, medium-to-high-molecular weight polyphenolic compounds that characteristically bind and precipitate soluble proteins. The objective of this paper was to present recent advances in CT-ruminant interactions, the limitations associated with understanding and using CT in ruminant animal production, and future needs for research to further advance our knowledge of the role of CT in optimization of ruminant animal production. Condensed tannins pose some anti-nutritional problems to ruminants due to their astringent property that reduces feed intake and, consequently, animal performance. Ruminants can, however, tolerate CT by slowly adapting the ruminal microbes to the toxic effects of CT and by releasing CT-binding salivary proteins. The protein-binding ability of CT has some benefits to the ruminant due to complexes formed with essential amino acids, preventing their degradation in the rumen, but releasing them in the lower gut for absorption by the animal. Recent data have suggested increased N retention when CT is given to growing animals. There are potential benefits of using CT and HT for anthelmintic purposes due to their ability to inhibit egg hatching and larval motility of gastrointestinal nematode parasites, especially in small ruminants. Condensed tannins also bind to minerals (Al, Ca, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, and Zn). Although studies with ruminants have been contradictory, it has been reported that because the CT-metal ion complex is stable over a wide pH range, CT may reduce the bioavailability of minerals. Methane mitigation by feeding CT might be the most impactful benefit for ruminant production. Many empirical equations have been developed to predict ruminal methane emissions, but very few have included CT. Future research should focus on the improvement of methodology to assess CT biological activity, interaction with other plant-specialized metabolites, and associated physiological and nutritional impacts on ruminants.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of pink pepper meal supplementation (PPM) in the dairy goats diet as an antiparasitic agent compared with ionophore, the monensin sodium. A total of 18 female Saanen goats, were distributed in a completely randomized in groups of three treatments and six replications, consisting of the experimental groups: negative control (did not receive anticoccidial agent or PPS), group 1 (supplemented with 30% of PPM) and group 2 (supplemented with anticoccidial agent -monensin sodium). There was a significant effect of treatments on voluntary feed intake on growing phases (P ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, the animals treated with PPM had the lowest food consumption compared with the other treatments (P ≤ 0.05), but without negative effect on live body weight. In general, at both phases of rearing, it was not detected significant difference between the voluntary feed intake of control group and with monensin sodium supplementation (P > 0.05), but the food consumption in the control group did not result on increase of live body weight probably due to sanitary challenges such as gastrointestinal parasites. The opposite was observed in animals treated with monensin sodium that had the highest body weight (P ≤ 0.05) that did not differ from animals fed with pink pepper (P > 0.05). By the way, in the growth phase our results revealed significantly effect of treatments on live body weight (P ≤ 0.05). Animals fed with pink pepper supplementation had a greater live body weight compared with the control (P ≤ 0.05) and similar to those supplemented with the monensin sodium (P > 0.05). The number of oocysts per gram of faeces was lower in animals treated with PPS that differed significantly from control (P ≤ 0.05). Regarding the count number of eggs per gram of faeces OPG, it was not detected significant effect of treatments (P> 0.05). It was found that the pink pepper supplementation was effective in the control of gastrointestinal parasites of goats, mainly on protozoa family Eimeriidae, revealing potential for use in alternative parasite control programs. Concomitantly also it was showed maximizing animal performance by high live body weight even with the reduction of voluntary feed intake.
