“…Condensed tannins are complex polyphenolic compounds with an ability to precipitate proteins and to form complexes with carbohydrates thereby reducing the digestibility (Kumar and Vaithiyanathan, 1990;Mezzomo et al, 1991;Makkar, 2003;Ferreira, 2004). Except in fruits and leafs of E. capensis and leaves of M. lanceolata, the DM disappearance of the plants is lower than the values recorded for most of the legume and non-legume multipurpose trees reported by Ramana et al (2000). This difference might be associated with the differences in plant species.…”

ABSTRACT:The study was aimed at determining the chemical composition, in sacco ruminal dry matter and organic matter degradability of leaves and fruits of tropical condensed tannin rich multipurpose tree species (MPTS). The MPTS studied were Ekebergia capenesis, Ficus sycomorus, Maesa lanceolata, and Rhus glutinosa. Chemical composition of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude ash (CA), ether extract (EE), crude fibre (CF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), non-fibre carbohydrates (NFC), and condensed tannin (CT) was determined. In sacco rumen degradability was measured using three rumen fistulated Holstein FriesianBoran cross steers at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. The DM and organic matter (OM) degradability data were fitted to the equation Y = a + b(1 -e -ct ). The values for each chemical constituent ranged 5.43-11.49% (CA), 7.97-17.06% (CP), 1.57-31% (EE), 12.20-27.5% (CF), 5.84-39.30% (NFC), and 7.2-16.72% (CT). Ekebergia capensis leaves had the greatest values for slowly degradable fraction (b), effective degradability (ED), and rate of degradation (c) in DM (P < 0.001) whereas E. capensis fruit had significantly the greatest soluble fraction (a), potential degradability (b), and effective degradability (ED) values as compared to the a, PD, and ED values in the fruits of other plants(P < 0.001). Yet in OM degradation kinetics, the greatest and least values of potential degradability (PD) were recorded for F. sycomorus (89.89%) and E. capensis (55.90%) leaves (P < 0.001). Similar to the rapidly soluble fraction a, ED was found to be the greatest in fruits as compared to leaves of the plants (P < 0.001). Generally variation of plant parts led to significant differences in chemical composition, DM, and OM degradability and the degradable parameters. The leaves and fruits recorded more than 60% DM and OM degradability at 24 h, which implied that they were all greatly degradable in the rumen.

“…Different constituents were detected in GC-MS analysis of dichloromethane extract of the leaves (Chen and Wang, 2010). The leaves subramanian, 1962, Ranganthan andNagarajan, 1980) and the flowers (Nokata et al, 1977, Lowry et al, 1984 of L. leucocephala were reported for their flavonoids contents while the roots were studied for tannins which exhibited nitrification inhibition effect (Erickson et al, 2000). Aerial parts (Haggag et al, 2011) and ethanol extract of the pods (Helana and Josline, . 2007) were studied for their flavonoids, Cytotoxic and DPPH antioxidant activity.…”

“…sin embargo, existen trabajos que evidencian que la presencia de compuestos antinutricionales en estas plantas, inhiben la acción de enzimas y la actividad de los microorganismos en el rumen, limitan la degradación de nutrientes y reducen, la producción de ácidos grasos como productos finales de la degradación (Ramana et al 2000(Ramana et al , salem et al 2006. estos compuestos presentes en las especies arbóreas pueden ejercer efectos detrimentales sobre la digestibilidad, el consumo y por tanto sobre el comportamiento animal (Tolera et al 1997).…”
