The effects of condensed tannins (CTs) extracted from five species of plants on egg hatching and larval development of Teladorsagia circumcincta (Stadelmann, 1894) (syn. Ostertagia circumcincta) were evaluated using in vitro bioassays. The extracts of CTs were obtained from Lotus pedunculatus (LP), Lotus corniculatus (LC), Dorycnium pentaphyllum (DP), Dorycnium rectum (DR) and Rumex obtusifoliu...

The increase in global average temperature has significant implications for food security and agriculture production. Grass species adapted to new climate scenarios are essential the success of livestock aim this study was evaluate different forage species, providing animal feed during critical dry periods as an adaptation strategy grazing systems, its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. field expe...

Methane is a major constituent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ruminants, and mitigation strategies are needed to alleviate this negative environmental impact while maintaining the other benefits grazing systems. Forages containing plant-specialized metabolites (PSM), particularly condensed tannins, may help reduce enteric methane (CH4) emissions. However, information on in vivo CH4 cows...

Context Mitigating urinary nitrogen (N) losses is an important target of sustainable cattle nutrition concepts. One option to achieve this may be dietary inclusion tanniferous herbs.Aims Aim the study was investigate herbs with different profiles tannins for their efficiency abate N losses. Small burnet (Sanguisorba minor) high concentrations total tannins, plantain (Plantago lanceolata) low an...
