Extract

It is well known that tannins are able to form complexes with dietary protein that can protect protein against ruminal degradation (Driedger 1972, Mangan 1988). However, level of protection could change with factors such as nature and amount of tannins and physical and chemical conditions in the ruminal fluid. The present experiment was conducted to study the ruminal degradability under different dietary conditions of soya bean meal sprayed witht different amounts of tannic acid.
