The objective of the experiments was to demonstrate the influence of lowand high-tannin horse bean on the selected fermentation indicators. The sheep rumen content with the addition of 1, 2 and 5 g of highand low-tannin horse bean was incubated in vessels of 250 ml volume. A significant increase of ammonia, lactic acid, CO2 and methane as well as pH decrease in samples with addition of horse be...
