Influence of saponins and sapogenins on the bacteriolytic activity of ciliate protozoa from the sheep rumen
Foliage from the tropical leguminous tree, Sesbania sesban, is toxic to rumen protozoa in vitro, due to materials present in a saponins-containing extract of the foliage (Newbold et al 1997). Suppression of protozoal numbers in vivo when S. sesban is added to the diet is either transient or non-exis...
