Intake, digestion, and nitrogen utilization by sheep fed tropical legumes with contrasting tannin concentration and astringency
We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of concentration and astringency of extractable and bound condensed tannins (CT) in tropical legumes on intake, digestibility, and nitrogen (N) utilization by sheep. The test legumes (Desmodium ovalifolium and Flemingia macrophylla) had similar con...
