“…From a broader perspective, cattle production represents a key source of income and subsistence for humans, but is simultaneously responsible for about 12% of all anthropogenic GHG emissions worldwide (Westhoek et al 2011) and 80% of all agricultural non-CO2 emissions (Tubiello et al 2013). In conjunction with previous research (Navas-Camacho et al 1993;Moscoso et al 1995;2019 b;), the present findings suggest that native legume pods are a viable alternative feed that may increase milk and meat production while lowering methane emissions and improving feed nutritional quality. They provide scientific support for implementation of a sustainable intensification process in which more milk and meat can be produced more quickly in less area (considering open grazing systems) utilizing forage mixtures of grass and tree-legumes which can also deliver ecosystem services.…”

“…In another study on bull diet, it was observed that replacing cotton seeds with Morus alba (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of the total ration) resulted in significant weight gain (554, 583, 565, 568 g/head/day, respectively) [54]. However, the substitution of milled sorghum with milled E. cyclocarpum fruits (0%, 12%, 24%, and 36% of the DM ration) had no significant effects on the productive performance of hair sheep [55].…”

Methane produced by enteric fermentation contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Methane is one of the GHG resulting from anthropogenic activities with the greater global warming contribution. Ruminant production systems contribute between 18% and 33% of methane emissions. Due to this, there has been growing interest in finding feed alternatives which may help to mitigate methane production in the rumen. The presence of a vast range of secondary metabolites in tropical trees (coumarins, phenols, tannins, and saponins, among others) may be a valuable alternative to manipulate rumen fermentation and partially defaunate the rumen, and thus reduce enteric methane production. Recent reports suggest that it is possible to decrease methane emissions in sheep by up to 27% by feeding them saponins from the tea leaves of Camellia sinensis; partial defaunation (54%) of the rumen has been achieved using saponins from Sapindus saponaria. The aim of this review was to collect, analyze, and interpret scientific information on the potential of tropical trees and their secondary metabolites to mitigate methane emissions from ruminants.

“…Therefore, there was no effect detected of the tannin content of the diets on dry matter intake, which has been reported by other authors when studying tropical legume shrubs. The (2003) and Moscoso et al (1995) when ewe lambs were fed with Parota pods. The lower digestibility of T24 may account for the lower mean daily live-weight gain shown by growing ewe lambs on this diet.…”

Two experiments were undertaken to evaluate the use of pods from Huizache (Acacia farnesiana), common in the arid and semiarid regions of Mexico, on the perfromance and apparent digestibility in Pelibuey Mexican hair growing ewe lambs. Twenty-four Pelibuey ewe lambs were used in the animal performance experiment, with a mean live weight of 14.91 +/- 1.48 kg, randomnly allocated to three groups which received ad libitum for 77 days (11 weeks) experimental whole rations T0 with 0%, T12 with 12% or T24 with 24% inclusión of dried and ground Huizache pods. Dry matter intakes (g/kg (0.75) daily) were 83, 95, 90 for T0, T12, and T24 respectively (P > 0.05). Mean daily live-weight gain was 90, 75, and 63 g/day for T0, T12, and T24 (P < 0.001). Nine Pelibuey ewe lambs were used to determine apparent digestibility in vivo of the experimental diets using a 3 x 3 latin square design repeated three times. There were differences in the digestibility of dry matter (P < 0.001), organic matter (P < 0.001), nitrogen (P < 0.031), neutral detergent fibre (P < 0.002), and acid detergent fibre (P < 0.001) being lower in T24. Huizache pods may be an alternative feed when included up to 12% of dry matter in the diets for sheep growing moderately.
