“…In addition, CT content of M. esculenta was higher in this study than reported by Marie‐Magdeleine et al. () for the same geographical area. A possible explanation is that CT concentrations vary considerably according to environmental conditions, vegetation conditions and physiological properties of plants (Tiemann et al., ).…”

An in vivo trial was conducted in sheep to investigate the effect of three tropical tannin-rich plants (TRP) on methane emission, intake and digestibility. The TRP used were leaves of Glyricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and Manihot esculenta that contained, respectively, 39, 75 and 92 g condensed tannins/kg DM. Methane was determined with the sulphur hexafluoride tracer technique. Eight rumen-cannulated sheep of two breeds (four Texel, four Blackbelly) were used in two 4 × 4 Latin square designs. Four experimental diets were tested. They consisted in a tropical natural grassland hay based on Dichanthium spp. fed alone (C) or in association with G. sepium (G), L. leucocephala (L) or M. esculenta (M) given as pellets at 44% of the daily ration. Daily organic matter intake was higher in TRP diets (686, 984, 1054 and 1186 g/day for C, G, L and M respectively; p < 0.05) while apparent organic matter total tract digestibility was not affected (69.9%, 62.8%, 65.3% and 64.7% for C, G, L and M respectively; p > 0.05). Methane emission was 47.1, 44.9, 33.3 and 33.5 g/kg digestible organic matter intake for C, G, L and M, respectively, and was significantly lower (p < 0.05) for L and M than for G and C. Our results confirm the potential of some TRP to reduce methane production. The strong decrease in methane and the increase in intake with TRPs may be due to their presentation as pellets.

“…Consumption of tannin-rich plants including sulla ( Hedysarum coronarium ), sainfoin and trefoil also reduces infestation by parasitic nematodes (Hoste et al , 2006). In the tropics, feeding lambs with wilted cassava foliage or banana foliage decreased nematode fecundity while providing suitable energy intake (Marie-Magdeleine et al , 2010). These plants have been shown to improve clinical status (diarrhea indices, etc.)…”

Agroecology and industrial ecology can be viewed as complementary means for reducing the environmental footprint of animal farming systems: agroecology mainly by stimulating natural processes to reduce inputs, and industrial ecology by closing system loops, thereby reducing demand for raw materials, lowering pollution and saving on waste treatment. Surprisingly, animal farming systems have so far been ignored in most agroecological thinking. On the basis of a study by Altieri, who identified the key ecological processes to be optimized, we propose five principles for the design of sustainable animal production systems: (i) adopting management practices aiming to improve animal health, (ii) decreasing the inputs needed for production, (iii) decreasing pollution by optimizing the metabolic functioning of farming systems, (iv) enhancing diversity within animal production systems to strengthen their resilience and (v) preserving biological diversity in agroecosystems by adapting management practices. We then discuss how these different principles combine to generate environmental, social and economic performance in six animal production systems (ruminants, pigs, rabbits and aquaculture) covering a long gradient of intensification. The two principles concerning economy of inputs and reduction of pollution emerged in nearly all the case studies, a finding that can be explained by the economic and regulatory constraints affecting animal production. Integrated management of animal health was seldom mobilized, as alternatives to chemical drugs have only recently been investigated, and the results are not yet transferable to farming practices. A number of ecological functions and ecosystem services (recycling of nutrients, forage yield, pollination, resistance to weed invasion, etc.) are closely linked to biodiversity, and their persistence depends largely on maintaining biological diversity in agroecosystems. We conclude that the development of such ecology-based alternatives for animal production implies changes in the positions adopted by technicians and extension services, researchers and policymakers. Animal production systems should not only be considered holistically, but also in the diversity of their local and regional conditions. The ability of farmers to make their own decisions on the basis of the close monitoring of system performance is most important to ensure system sustainability.

“…Furthermore, anthelminthic properties of cassava have been reported in ruminants fed fresh cassava (Seng;Preston 2003;Granum et al, 2007;Marie-Magdeleine et al, 2010). Since toxic effects have been observed after ingestion of fresh cassava, drying, washing by immersion in water, and cooking are recommended to remove the cyanogenic compounds, and reduce its toxicity (Nwabueze;Odunsi, 2007;Silva et al, 2011).…”

Pathological effects of acetone cyanohydrin in swiss rats

Cassava has been widely used for animal and human nutrition. It has also been demonstrated to have antineoplastic and anthelmintic properties. Toxicity due to cassava consumption has been reported in ruminants and laboratory animals; therefore, this study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of acetone cyanohydrin, a metabolite of linamarin that is present in cassava, in Wistar rats. Six groups of five animals each were used to evaluate the toxic effects of acetone cyanohydrin administered at 25 (G1), 50 (G2), 75 (G3), 100 (G4) and 125 (G5) µmol/kg as a single oral dose. The control group received acidified water (pH 3.5). The animals were monitored after administration of acetone cyanohydrin, and clinical symptoms were recorded. Serum enzyme levels were measured to assess the kidney and liver function. During necropsy, tissue samples were collected for histopathological examination. After administration, some animals in the G2, G4, and G5 groups presented neurological symptoms such as convulsions, involuntary muscle contraction, staggering gait, motor coordination disability, prostration, and mydriasis. All of the animals in the G5 and four animals in the G4 group died seven minutes after the administration of acetone cyanohydrin. Animals in the other groups, particularly in G2, recovered from the acute phase. Biochemical analysis revealed hepatic lesions and liver dysfunction. Histopathology revealed severe lesions in both the liver and brain. In conclusion, acetone cyanohydrin has toxic effects in the liver, lung, and central nervous system in rats; however, at concentrations up to 25 µmol/kg, the animals could survive the acute phase.Index terms: Neurotoxic; hepatotoxic; cyanide; acute intoxication. RESUMOA mandioca tem sido amplamente utilizada para alimentação animal e humana. Também tem sido demonstrado que possui propriedades anti-neoplásicas e anti-helmínticas. A toxicidade devido ao consumo da mandioca tem sido relatada em ruminantes e animais de laboratório. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo investigar os efeitos tóxicos da acetona cianidrina, um metabólito da linamarina que está presente na mandioca, em ratos Wistar. Foram utilizados seis grupos de cinco animais cada para avaliar os efeitos tóxicos da acetona cianidrina administrada a 25 (G1), 50 (G2), 75 (G3), 100 (G4) e 125 (G5) umol / kg como uma dose oral única. O grupo controle recebeu água acidificada (pH 3,5). Os animais foram monitorados após a administração de acetona cianidrina e os sintomas clínicos foram registrados. Os níveis séricos das enzimas foram medidos para avaliar a função renal e hepática. Durante a necropsia, amostras teciduais foram coletadas para análise histopatológica. Após a administração, alguns animais dos grupos G2, G4 e G5 apresentaram sintomas neurológicos como convulsões, contração muscular involuntária, andar cambaleante, incordenação motora, prostração e midríase. Todos os animais do G5 e quatro animais do G4 morreram após sete minutos da administração de acetona cianidrina. Animais dos outros grupos,...
