Tannins have been used to trigger positive effects on ruminal metabolism and increase ruminant production efficiency, since they the supply of dietary protein in small intestine. Increasing levels tannic acid a sorghum-based diet feeding behavior five Holstein/Zebu crossbred lactating dairy cows was evaluated. They were subjected 5 × Latin square experimental design, with fivelevels tannin as d...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of adaptation period to oak leave's tannin on rumen ph and ammonia, rumen microbial population, gas production and dry matter true digestibility (ivtdmd) in alamout goat’s rumen (with no previous history of oak leaf consumption) compared with markhoz goat (with previous history of oak leaf consumption). the goats were fed either oak...

six rumen fistulated adult sheep were used to assess the effect of tannins (hydrolysable tannin; hts) in oak leaves (quercus libani oliv.) on ruminal fermentation parameters in a change-over design experiment for 28 days in 3 periods. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to deactivate the tannins. the three dietary treatments were control (alfalfa hay, barley grain, wheat bran, wheat straw); ol (...

Tannin acyl hydrolase (E.C.3.1.1.20) is commonly referred as tannase, hydrolyses ester and depside bonds of hydrolysable tannins to produce gallic acid, glucose and galloyl esters. Tannase has many industrial applications. The enzyme has potential uses in the treatment of tannery effluents. A lot of research is done on production aspects of tannase, but is still considered as one of the costly ...

Tannins are a complex group of polyphenolic compounds found in a wide range of plant species commonly consumed by ruminants. They are conventionally classified into two major groups: the hydrolysable and the condensed tannins. Although for a long time tannins were thought to be detrimental to ruminants, their effect may be either beneficial or harmful depending on the type of tannin consumed, i...

Hydrolyzed gallic acid in Potentilla chinensis Ser. was determined by HPLC using Potentilla chinensis Ser. as a model drug with chromatographic conditions as follows: Hypersil C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm); mobile phase methanol-0.05% aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (10:90); volume flow 1.0 mL/min; detection wavelength 271 nm; column temperature 25°C; and injection volume 20 μL. Inject...

The phytochemical analysis of the polar extracts of Cedrus brevifolia needles yielded 20 compounds, namely from the methanol extract we isolated three flavonoids (1-3), one hydrolysable tannin (4), eleven phenolic derivatives (5-15) and one apocarotenoid (16), while from the methanol: water (5:1) extract we isolated four flavonoids (17-20). Chemical structures of all isolated compounds were det...

Natural extracts are frequently adopted as a valuable alternative to antibiotics in intensive animal farming. Their diverse bioactive constituents such phytosterols, glucosinolates, carotenoids and polyphenols have shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory antibacterial effects. Tannins the largest class of polyphenol compounds plant extracts, which can be classified into two hydrolysable or condens...

In addition to the bio-guided investigation of the antifungal activity of Plinia cauliflora leaves against different Candida species, the major aim of the present study was the search for targets on the fungal cell. The most active antifungal fraction was purified by chromatography and characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. The antifungal activity was evaluated against five Candida strains...

Environmental stresses not only influence production of plant metabolites but could also modify their resorption during leaf senescence. The production-resorption dynamics of polyphenolic tannins, a class of defense compound whose ecological role extends beyond tissue senescence, could amplify the influence of climate on ecosystem processes. We studied the quantity, chemical composition, and ti...
