This paper examines the nutritional and veterinary effects of tannins on ruminants and makes some comparisons with non-ruminants. Tannin chemistry per se is not covered and readers are referred to several excellent reviews instead: (a) Okuda T et al. Heterocycles 30:1195-1218 (1990); (b) Ferreira D and Slade D. Nat Prod Rep 19:517-541 (2002); (c) Yoshida T et al. In Studies in Natural Product Chemistry. Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, pp. 395-453 (2000); (d) Khanbabaee K and van Ree T. Nat Prod Rep 18:641-649 (2001); (e) Okuda et al. Phytochemistry 55:513-529 (2000). The effects of tannins on rumen micro-organisms are also not reviewed, as these have been addressed by others: (a) McSweeney CS et al. Anim Feed Sci Technol 91:83-93 (2001); (b) Smith AH and Mackie RI. Appl Environ Microbiol 70:1104-1115 (2004). This paper deals first with the nutritional effects of tannins in animal feeds, their qualitative and quantitative diversity, and the implications of tannin-protein complexation. It then summarises the known physiological and harmful effects and discusses the equivocal evidence of the bioavailability of tannins. Issues concerning tannin metabolism and systemic effects are also considered.Opportunities are presented on how to treat feeds with high tannin contents, and some lesser-known but successful feeding strategies are highlighted. Recent research has explored the use of tannins for preventing animal deaths from bloat, for reducing intestinal parasites and for lowering gaseous ammonia and methane emissions. Finally, several tannin assays and a hypothesis are discussed that merit further investigation in order to assess their suitability for predicting animal responses. The aim is to provoke discussion and spur readers into new approaches. An attempt is made to synthesise the emerging information for relating tannin structures with their activities. Although many plants with high levels of tannins produce negative effects and require treatments, others are very useful animal feeds. Our ability to predict whether tannin-containing feeds confer positive or negative effects will depend on interdisciplinary research between animal nutritionists and plant chemists. The elucidation of tannin structure-activity relationships presents exciting opportunities for future feeding strategies that will benefit ruminants and the environment within the contexts of extensive, semi-intensive and some intensive agricultural systems.

“…The fruits-Acacia tortillis, Dichrostachys cinerea given to goats [105,128], honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) avidly eaten by sheep [31] and acorns of Quercus rotundifolia, found to be excellent for Mediterranean pigs and ruminants [34], were also used for animal feeding. The other unconventional tannin-rich feed and fodder tried were green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract for calves [70], chestnut (Castanea sativa) wood extract and tannins for cattle, pigs and lambs [56,83,192,230], peanut (Arachis hypogaea) skins and tamarind (Tamarindus indica) seed husk for dairy cows [29,218] and rapeseed (canola) meal for pigs and ruminants [65,79].…”

Value Addition of Feed and Fodder by Alleviating the Antinutritional Effects of Tannins

Tannins are one of the important plant secondary metabolites having wide prevalence in the plant kingdom. They are a prominent constituent of various types of feed, fodder and agro-industrial wastes. The intake of tannins at a low level has recently been found to have some positive effects in ruminants. However, the use of tannin-rich biomass as animal feed, having high content of tannins, is limited by the antinutritional effects of tannins at this level in an animal system. A number of physical, chemical, biological and miscellaneous approaches have been developed for inactivation or removal of tannins for enhancement of the feeding value of tannin-rich biomass. However, none of the individual method is successful in total inactivation or removal of tannins without loss of nutritive value, and this limits the utilization of a vast amount of plant resource. A cohesive and an integrated detanninification strategy is required for alleviating the antinutritional effects of tannins in animals and upgrading the feeding value of tanniniferous biomass.

“…Several commercial tannins, however, were extracted mainly from the bark. Those barks were Acacia mearsnii (Duan et al, 2005), quebracho, Pinus radiata (Li & Maplesden, 1998), Eucalyptus camadulensis (Ofi nade, 1997), Western hemlock (Herrick, 1980), chestnut (Castanea vesca) (Krisper et al, 1992) Tannins are utilized for several purposes. A er mimosa and quebracho tannin, tannin from chestnut is the third most important vegetable tannin used for leather production in Northern side of Mediterranean Sea (Krisper et al, 1992).…”

“…However, the benefi cial eff ect of tannin has also been reported by several authors. A castalagin-based pharmaceutical product from chesnut bark is currently in use for prevention and treatment of diarrhea in pigs and ca le that is caused by changes in diet (Krisper et al, 1992).

Acacia mangium bark is abundant byproduct of wood industry in Indonesia. It is underutilized and mainly used as fi re wood for the wood industry. The bark contains high level of tannin but the tannin has not been extracted or produced commercially. Tannin isolate can be used for several purposes such as tanning agent for leather, adhesive for plywood or particle board, etc. In ruminant, tannin can be detrimental but can also be benefi cial. This experiment was aimed of ge ing the highest yield of tannin extract with the highest biological activity in rumen fermentation. Nine diff erent solvents at diff erent temperatures were used to extract tannin from A. mangium bark. The extracts were analyzed for their tannin contents and biological activities. Tannin content was analyzed using folin ciocalteau and butanol-HCl methods. Biological activity was described as a percentage of an increase in gas production in the in vitro rumen-buff er fermentation, with and without addition of PEG. The results show that Na 2 SO 3 solution extracted more tannin than other solutions and the higher the concentration of Na 2 SO 3 solution, the higher the yield of tannin extract. The solution of 6% sodium sulphite gave the highest yield of tannin extract (31.2% of original bark sample) and the highest concentration of tannin (18.26%) but produced a negative eff ect on in vitro fermentation (% increase of gas production = 2.70%). Extraction with 50% acetone gave a high yield of extract (22.28% of original bark) which contained 12.98% of tannin and showed the highest biological response (% increase of gas production = 216%). In conclusion, sodium sulphite solution is not recommended for tannin extraction if the tannin will be used as feed additive in ruminant feed; on the other hand, the aqueous acetone (50% acetone) solution is a be er choice to be used.
